Does window resizing work?

Unfortunately, not directly. Autotrax is a DOS application and we can only tell it once (as it starts) how big its window is. To change the window size the most effective method is to change the default window size for NTVDM. To get to this, right click the title bar of the autotrax window and adjust poperties: layout: window size. You then need to exit Autotrax and restart before the changes will take effect. There is also another way to adjust the window size that avoids messing with the NTVDM defaults. You rename the file C:\autotrax\bigwindo.off to C:\autotrax\bigwindo.on. However, when you do this, Minimize will not work as the screen will restore with the NTVDM default size. Because minimize does not work in this mode, effectively Alt-tab is not useful either. Alternative way of window resizing (Really described above, needing window as large as possible, still want alt-tab) Problem: When open in maximum window, tab to another app, then return to Autotrax, window goes to smaller
