And people wonder why I cling to my entrenched DOS/Win3.11 setup (long since terrorized into good behaviour :) tho ironically I'm gonna get forced to Win9* or WinBalls by having too many Win3.1 apps, because my WFWG setup is maxed out :( For all you coder types, kindly consider DOS and Win3.1 (even if needing Win32s) versions of Win95 and *NIX programs whenever practical -- we old timers will love you for it! ~REZ~ ...I'll give up DOS when they pry my cold dead computer from around it!
