I have Windows XP in a VM within OS X Lion, but I'd like to run Diablo in its own window for when I put Parallels in Coherence mode. I can't resize the window once it resets the resolution to 640x480 and goes full-screen. Is it possible to run it in a window within Windows without another VM? Adding the usual windowed mode flags (
-w , -win , -window , -windowed ) to the shortcut's target field doesn't work (though -w works with D2). (Is there another established method for windowing old, stubborn programs like D1?)

A virtual machine running on Virtual Box will probably do the trick. One of the main downsides of trying to run games on VM's is the slowdown from virtualizing modern graphics, which is totally not a problem here! Further, you should be able to avoid any windows compatibility problems by just installing Windows 98 in the VM.

This post offers some insightful information on installing D1 on Virtual Box.
General > Advanced > Untick 'Show Toolbar in Fullscreen;'
Audio > Host Driver > Alsa Network > Bridged Adapter;
Select Windows as the installation media, then install;
Install guest additions, then enable their offered graphics capabilities;
Every time one restarts the virtual machine, consideration should be given to:
Cut down host resolution (integer-value native division; aspect-ratio maintenance) through its system settings (useful for cases in which the resolution is of 640*480);
Switch to fullscreen mode through holding down the host key*, then pressing the f one;
Disable mouse integration through holding down the host key*, then pressing the i one;
*By default, this is the right Control key on your keyboard; on a Mac host, the default host key is the left Command key
For more information on Virtual Box, consult the manual here.
WineBottler works as well. The process is about the same as installing D2.

There are a variety of game commands you may type while in Battle.net chat or in the game. All commands are typed at the very start of the prompt, preceded by a slash. Use control+C and control+V to copy and paste messages while in chat. More text manipulation shortcuts are listed further down this page.
Most commands can be used by just typing the first letter of the word. Instead of '/friends promote' just '/f p' for instance. Other shortcuts are listed in each section.
Communication Commands[edit]
All of these work in chat channels and in game.
Chat, Private Channel, and Op Commands[edit]
Commands that only work in chat. Some only work for channel ops in private channels.
Friends Commands[edit]
All these can be used with /friends or /f for faster typing. They work in chat channels or in game.
A handy shortcut is to use the number of someone on your friends, after the % key, instead of typing their name. For instance, /f %7 will send a message to the 7th person on your friends list. Or /f p %5 will promote the fifth person on your user list (to the 4th spot, unless you specify a number).
Ignore Commands[edit]
Ways to control the messages you see.
Status Commands[edit]
These work in chat channels and games.
In-game Commands[edit]
These only work when typed into the chat box while playing the game. Many of the Chat Channel commands work in-game too, including all of the various messaging and ignoring controls.
A shortcut for repeating commands in game is to hit enter to open the chat box, and then use the up/down arrows to cycle through commands you sent out previously in that game. You can resend the same ones, or backspace to delete portions.
Chat Shortcuts[edit]
These are basic Windows commands that work in Battle.net chat.
Target Line Commands[edit]
These are commands that change some basic functions of the game. They must be in place when the program starts up. To enable these, go to the shortcut you use to start up Diablo II, right click, select properties, and view the target field. The default installation yields this:
Fallout zombie apocalypse mod 1 12 2. Add any commands after that, with a space between them. For instance:
Here's a short list of the most useful commands. The full list (most of which are without function) can be seen below.

Most of these are oddities left over from the development process. Most of these do not work in later game versions. List source.

I have
diablo2 and I got a mod for it which opens the game with a .bat file.
However it opens it in fullscreen mode which reduces fps and seems to cause mouse lag. I want the functionality of the
bat file but to open the game in windowed mode.
So has anyone got anything I can do to that Compo
bat file to make the game open in windowed mode?

I've become a bit spoiled with all the newer games offering borderless window mode1. Is there anyway to enable it for Diablo 2? Or am I stuck with the nasty border around my window?

I'm inclined to suggest that if the game wasn't coded in such a way that it won't be possible.
Diablo 2 Widescreen
Given the age of Diablo II and the very recent rise in popularity of boarderless windowed mode I think it's very unlikely.

How To Make Diablo 2 Fullscreen
Yes it is possible. In fact it works with any and every program. Please check my tutorial on my Operating Systems class website. It might be bannable, but not more than with Fraps or MSI Afterburner. If you get into trouble contact Blizzard support and link them the website to revert the ban.

There is a way of using a launcher called D2MultiRes 1.02 which will basically launch the game in a window at a higher resolution. You should be able to manipulate the screen to a borderless window by using some tools. The only stipulation is that this tool requires 1.12 which is not the latest Blizzard patch for the game, meaning that if you used it, you can't play online.
