Glad to hear it. It's good to have feedback from the real world.

I'm not a DosBox user, so I can't help you with the screen-size
issue. As for CLIP.EXE: this is a stab in the dark, but try lowering
the ChunkSz setting in XYWWWEB.REG; this controls the size of the
data pieces (chunks) processed by CLIP. To get to the setting,
command REGEDIT CHUNKSZ. You should see a line like this:

ChunkSz=8192

Whatever the number is, reduce it. I would suggest decrements of 512
(of course, you must SAve XYWWWEB.REG each time) until CLIP works or
you get down to 1024. If CLIP still crashes at that value, then the
solution lies elsewhere.

Good luck.
