More stuff for cosmetic tweaking of DOS sessions



Some time ago, I said that I was looking for something that would allow
me to access the full color palette in a _windowed_ DOS session under XP
(full screen is no problem), to allow a color picking utility such as
PRISM or VPT to function. It was pointed out to me that TameDOS does
offer a full palette, which is true, but I still wanted something that
would let me use my very own mellow-yellows without having to go the
Tame route. Here's what I found:

Thanks to "the derelict", I now once again can have all the colors I
want even in windowed mode under XP without having to suffer the
garishness of the extremely limited default DOS colors.

And to return to the topic of fonts, this is old hat to many here, but
for the benefit of a new tweaker among us, a set of useful fonts for
making _windowed_ (not full-screen) sessions bigger is here:
