I recently began to run my 19" monitor at 2048x1536 using the SciTech
Display Doctor(SDD) driver.  Everything works great, the higher dpi
hides OS/2's lack of anti-aliased font support.

However playing Entrepreneur became a hassle.  Entrepreneur opens
with a 640x480 image that is too small to be able to play. 
Entrepreneur will correctly scale the game if the window is
maximized, but the game runs too slowly when pushing that many
pixels.  Entrepreneur's window resizing 
is disabled, so I was stuck with a game that was either to small to
see or too slow to play.

With a tip from Brad Barclay, I wrote a program that finds the
Entrepreneur window, and then resizes that window.  The final version
of Resizer allows you to specify window and size multiplier.  Now it
works great with other programs such as Hopkins FBI.
