Wouldn't a simpler solution be to run your terminal emulator with a larger
font size?

Wow, that's a great idea I didn't think of David.

Instead of only setting 'size' to 80x25 I tried setting a Kterm to
'font size' of' huge', then 'size' to '80x25 IBMPC' and it's much
easier to read. Fills about 70% of the 1280x1024 screen.

I run dosemu with the following command line in an icon:
konsole --vt_sz 80x25 --noresize -e godos
It looks like all I have to do is put in something for the font size
since the vt_sz is already correct.

Thanks very much for the new idea.

I'd still like to know how to run another instance of X though.
