 Before I got my ultrawide monitor, I ran DOSBOX-X in a 16:9 window with
 a little bit of tweaking and dealiasing, and got a great looking full
 screen environment. I liked not being able to copy/paste, and instead
 focusing on a full screen window. It was a nice respite from multiple
 windows and multitasking.

 Aside: A message of mine made it into the sample BW packet included in
 the install package.
