It's not the simple matter that you suppose to make the game handle the larger screen.

That's too bad.
I'm not suggesting that SEIV be extended to support new resolutions, I'm sure that would be a lot of work to add in support for additional resolutions. And, yes what I am suggesting is a simple matter.
What I
am suggesting is that the game itself use the user's preference (either 800x600 or 1024x768) and set the video mode on startup. It's been a while since I wrote DirectX/DirectDraw code, but Last I checked this was one line of code (ok, so in the years that have intervened since I Last coded DirectX, maybe complexity has doubled - resulting in all of two lines of code). No new bitmaps, no new resolution support is required.
Anyhow, be that as it may, if anyone out there has successfully implemented the batch files, I'd love to get a pointer on what I've done wrong.
