There is no way to display more columns, and maximizing your terminal will do nothing. There’s a workaround, just type stty cols 80, and it will be confined to a portion of your terminal, looking a bit sad. If your terminal is not exactly 80 columns wide, it just makes a big ugly mess on your screen. The truth is I’m cheating, it does work, but it only supports a few standard text mode resolutions. I do like using Lotus 1-2-3, I even have a boxed copy of the last DOS version released, version 4! Problem There were a ton of major commercial software products for MS-DOS that were highly polished, and can still be used effectively in an xterm today. I tend to use a lot of retro software, partly because I’m a big nerd but also because I just prefer to work in a terminal.
