Preserving equal sized split view

Question

Hello,

I start GVIM in not-maximized window mode and split its window horizontally making sure the windows are equally sized. How can I preserve this equal-sized split view when I maximize the main GVIM window? Whenever I maximize GVIM forgets that the windows have been equally split.

Thanks.

The command to equalize splits is ^W= (ctrl-W =), or in a script, wincmd =.
