[Trlog] DOS Window Display Difficulties +++

Well, I decided to try putting TR on an older WIN95 Notebook tonight before 
the NCCC pre-NAQP test run.  This was a disaster for me, as was getting 
some erratic behaviors...like things blinking on & off on the screen 
&  weird CW at times.  This all was on top of certain operator QLF, of 
course...and a need to more thoroughly work through some S&P functionalities.

But the guys gave me some new tips...including to reboot the computer into 
MS-DOS mode instead which I tried.  Unfortunately, TR now shows all 
"squashed" with much left over blank/black screen above & below.

So I went into the DOS Properties, and set it for Full Screen, and also 
individually re-set and re-booted at the Default, 25, 43 & 50 lines options 
for the display but always got the same results...a "squashed" appearing TR 
which just won't do.  I'm baffled!!!

I'm also concerned if there is sufficient memory for 5,000+ QSOs.  Here's 
what 'mem' yields:

MEMORY TYPE	TOTAL		USED		FREE
Lower			640K		28K		612K
Upper			139K		139K		0K
Reserved		256K		256K		0K
Extended(XMS)	31,733K	97K		31,456K
----------------------
Total Memory		32,768K	520K		32,248K

Largest Executable Program Size	612K

Largest Free Upper Memory Block	0K

MS-DOS is Resident in the High Memorary Area

Thanks much for any help with this.
