Well, FM is setting the "full-sized" window then

That is the same as .dwSize:
main      proc c
local   ci:CONSOLE_SCREEN_BUFFER_INFO
        .if GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo(hStdOutput,addr ci)
            mov eax,ci.dwSize
            movzx ecx,ax
            shr eax,16
            dec eax
            invoke printf,"COLS:\t%d\nROWS:\t%d\n",ecx,eax
            mov eax,ci.dwMaximumWindowSize
            movzx ecx,ax
            shr eax,16
            dec eax
            invoke printf,"MaximumWindowSize:\n COLS:\t%d\n ROWS:\t%d\n",ecx,eax
            invoke getch
        .endif
        sub eax,eax
        ret
main    endp

Executed from Windows:
COLS:   80
ROWS:   24
MaximumWindowSize:
 COLS:  80
 ROWS:  24


Executed from Doszip in a large-size window:
COLS:   140
ROWS:   48
MaximumWindowSize:
 COLS:  140
 ROWS:  48


The GetLargestConsoleWindowSize function returns the size of the largest possible console window,
based on the current font and the size of the display.
COORD GetLargestConsoleWindowSize(
  HANDLE hConsoleOutput   // handle to console screen buffer
);

The SetConsoleWindowInfo function sets the current size and position of a console screen buffer's window.
BOOL SetConsoleWindowInfo(
  HANDLE hConsoleOutput,  // handle to console screen buffer
  BOOL bAbsolute,         // coordinate type flag
  CONST SMALL_RECT *lpConsoleWindow
                          // address of new window rectangle
);

I will do some testing...
