streu in Re: PCC2 2.0.11:

If you end up with the decision that the Windows version works better in full-screen than the Linux version, I wouldn't be surprised; on my current PC, this is the case whereas on my previous PC it was the other way around. One reason why things are this way is that I'm using a 15 year old toolchain and SDL library. Upgrading that will solve such problems; this is one of the reasons why I want to retire Win95 support... With SDL2, everyone gets smooth full-screen support with GPU-based upscaling.

Well.
It worked with wine. But it didn't do a thing about screensize. in win7 I used a long parameter string under properties. But I can't even access these properties anymore because I don't have a working win-95/98/XP/Vista/7-whatsoever.
So wine opens with the usual small window on my big screen and I don't have single clue what I could do about it. With the linux version the above commands (Addendum #2) are working.

The option you're looking for is '-fullscreen'.

When I start PCC2 as wine "/dos/c/Program Files (x86)/PCC2/pcc-v2.exe" -fullscreen, I get a full-screen application (and it messes up my dual-monitor setup). In contrast, the native version "pcc-v2 -fullscreen", just gives a 640x480 application with a huge black borders (as far as I understand, the difference is that the native version tries to leave the upscaling to the monitor, but most monitors stopped supporting that like ten years ago).
