  ****************************************************************
  When a PCOMM session screen size is 27x132 and auto sizing
  Terminal font is used and the user drags the window to enlarge
  the size, the screen will shrink to a smaller size. The error
  is caused by an incorrect automatic font size calculation
  during screen size change.
  

Problem conclusion

• PCSWS.EXE has been changed to record if the previous screen
  size is 132 columns and compare that to the current 80 column
  screen and make adjustments to produce the nearest font size
  for the current window.
