Epsilon has -vc and -vl switches to specify the number of columns and lines,
respectively, of the window it's in.  Under UNIX, it also can use the ROWS
and COLUMNS environment variables, but that probably won't work under DOS.
Now, if you're hoping your emacs can automatically detect the resizing of
the window it's in, that's another story.  But I would imagine it's possible
via EEL and the DESQview API, assuming DESQview has some means of notifying
an application that its window has changed size.
