filePro will, if Vista allows it.  On some computers, Vista will refuse to
let you put a console window into "full screen" mode, and will insist that
you use "windowed" mode.

Simple test...  Start a console window ("cmd") and press Alt+Enter.  Either
it will switch to full screen mode, or you will get a popup which says "This
system does not support fullscreen mode."

If it supports full screen mode, simply set the window to 80x25 and go to
full screen mode.  If not, then all you can do is set the window to 80x25
and use the largest font that is available that still fits on the screen.

Sorry.  Complain to Microsoft if it won't work on your system.
