After the installation of the Admin client on Windows 95/NT
it is not necessary to set DSM_DIR.  If you do set DSM_DIR, it's been my
experience that you need to specify the entire path to the client directory,
i.e. SET DSM_DIR=c:\adsm\saclient

As a work-around you can resize the processes window to make it larger.
This will allow you to further increase the column size.  When the view
is wider than what can be displayed in the container, you'll see
horizontal scrollbars appear.  We're looking at the default size of the
columns you mentioned and will make appropriate adjustments in the default
width. We don't have any current plan to make the columns or headers wrap.

This is a bug.  We will try to get the fix in the next PTF (fix).
