yep :)

but to address Scot Hill's points:

Multitasking & multithreading:  A pc cannot perform true multitasking
with only one cpu.  Multithreading however is also possible with DOS I'm
afraid.

Resource management: what, you mean the way it uses up all my resources,
ok you've got me there... :)  What do you mean by resource management? 
shared dll's and libraries?  That can be done in DOS, the registry? 
I've yet to see a good use for it (ok, the only good use I've seen for
it is, you can hide things like program expiry dates in them for
shareware progs - but still easy enough to get rid of it you know where
to look).

have I ever programmed for win95?  yes, actually I have.  I found it
easier than DOS for creating simple useless programs, but 100 times
harder to write anything usefull.

Cheers,

Quentin.
