I just stumbled over a website with DOS Software from 2023 (! yes, 2023) https://www.inverary.net/campbellware/dos.php
where they offer a Utility to set the text resolution in DOS: It says "DOS Set Text Resolution (STR) is a new 2023 DOS utility - STR allows users to manually set the text resolution of the DOS CLI to 80x25, 80x43 or 80x50“ haven’t tried yet, but this sounds pretty much like what MODE CON lines=nn does…??
