(does .72 have a way of resizing the dosbox window to something OTHER than fullscreen?)
Yes, hit ALT-ENTER when you are fullscreen and DOSBox will turn into a normal Windows window. You should be able to resize it to whatever you want, but keep in mind that the emulation power needed to do that is way greater this way than fullscreen. Probably not a good idea for "modern" DOS games.

Yes. "windowresolution=" in dosbox.conf allows you to set this. Best if you combine it with output=ddraw, though.

Thanks, I don't like full screen because it tends ot really mess up the graphics, but the dosbox window is so small on my screen, it gives me a headache trying to see details in the game itself. I will have to download dosbox .72 and try that.

On the contrary, fullscreen always give you the original graphics...
