My email is dave@restall.net. This of course presumes that >anybody is interested enough to want to reply :-) Spoon? Huh! Lo-tech - I have a whisk! (OK so it's manual and not electric...) I'm interested in developing initially some command line driven tools for serial and parallel interfacing so I can use them from DOS boxes under Win95, and portables running Win3 DOS boxes, plus Linux (which I still haven't installed on my 386! I have used it before of course, and as a side-question I want to know which is the "best" version - I have a 2 year old version of slackware), and then from WinNT most likely. I think I won't bother with the OS2 Warp 3 version.. (still boxed!)
