Look guys..., I'm not sure what you know about hardware--but here are the
details. The actual graphics files (and the images built into io.sys) are
320 by 400...., but the display algorithm (the text console built into
command.com) uses the native text mode as the display mode. This text mode
is 720 by 400 (by default....others are available via various hacks....).
This means that although the file only encodes a display space of 320 by 400
it is being either expanded, or more likely from the appearance of
it--interpolated, onto the text console's frame buffer space. Note this is
also, as far as I know, only explicitly the case for command.com ver 7.0 or
greater. I hope that this clears things up a bit.
