ProQuest in its own window?

We have moved torunning ProQuest (the full image version) in Windows for
better memory management and because we want to be ready for the Y2K event.
 However, the Head of Public Services can not stand the windows version.  I
imagine he would toss me out the window (real) if I did not provide the DOS
version.  I have the DOS version, but would like a way to run it full
screen so it is the only program that a person can see.  We tried locking
it down with the win.ini file, but it goes to a mode where the screen looks
funny.  If you hit the space key it goes back to normal, but I don't think
that will be acceptable either.

Does anyone know how to run a DOS program in a full window and lock it down
so it is the only option?  Will Fortres do this for me?  I don't have time
for this, but as with everything I have to make time.  

Help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Gary Masters
