If I remember correctly DOS boxes under Windows NT only emulate "real" VGA -
640x480, so you can't run caverot at better than that.  I understand Windows
2000 protects the hardware more than Windows 95/98 so it might be that it
behaves the same way as NT.

That's one for Phil...

Try running caverot with "--mode-picker" on the command line and let me know
if any of the offered resolutions work.  Start with the lower ones as they
are most likely to work.

And if you do get a working resolution, could you check if the mouse works?
There are problems under NT...
