Imre Bartfai says: > Hi, > > who says DOS is dead? Maybe he is called B. Gates? Forget it. My apologies. I use DOS software every day. I was simply trying to find the lowest common denominator. If I was an entrepreneur (aren't we all?) funding this project I would not bet my money on selling a lot of new DOS software in 1998. If this was 1995 I'd be betting the other way. Actually, DOS will probably stay around in the background of whatever flashy GUI they stick on top of it for years. In fact, I still use a DOS copy of PCWrite copyrighted in 1988. It's great! And yes I paid my shareware fee. -- Lawrence Lile "The ideal design has zero parts" - (attributed to Harold Hallikainen) Download AutoCad blocks for electrical drafting at: http://home1.gte.net/llile/index.htm
