Oh.  When people talked about things beyond W98 being difficult to
use, I assumed they were complaining about "no direct IO instructions
to the uart from user programs" issue...

Complexity in the application doesn't bother me much; as several
people have said, it's something you deal with once...  Having to
have a user install special device drivers that explictly defeat
windows 'security' is a more serious "problem."
