I am running ETH PlugIn Oberon for Windows 2.5 using the recommended
resolution for my monitor of 1920 x 1080. It is a 24" monitor so is quite
readable (albeit with my glasses on!). The great advantage is that I can see
80 lines of program source all at the same time. 

I just experimented and changed the Windows Screen Resolution using Control
Panel to 1024 x 768 and the Oberon Window zoomed proportionately. I could
then read the text without my glasses but could only view 50 lines at a
time. I'll stick with higher resolution ...

Regards,
Chris
