Arachne at FreeLists---The Arachne Fan Club! Setting BootGUI=0 is the classic and 100% working method of doing this. AFAIK, it works for all versions from early Win95A to Win98SE. If you rename win.com to w.com and create a batch file win.bat that just contains W.COM MODE CO80,25 you can even continue to work in DOS after shutting down Windows (provided that you disable APM/ACPI support in the BIOS setup, otherwise it would power off the PC instead).
