Thank you. All appears perfect. I'm not seeing any zoom bugs or wrong aspect ratios, especially now that I can display images in my monitor's native resolution of 1920x1080. Do you specifically have any images to test which previously exhibited the AR bug you spoke of?

Thanks for the hint that you are hard-coding of resolutions. I found where in the executable these are hardcoded, and modified some of them to oddball resolutions for my own use (like 720x480, 1024x600, 1366x768, 2048x1536, 1920x1440, etc) that likely won't be useful for anybody else. Every laptop that I have has different VESA resolutions. Video BIOSes have different VESA tables as well... with many strange resolutions beyond the "standard" 4:3 ones.

Until you can automatically detect all VESA resolutions on any given specific machine / vBIOS, and make them available "on the fly" in DOSVIEW, my kludge method of modifying directly the offsets in the DOSVIEW binary works for the outlier oddball resolutions when I need them...
