I love DOS based projects, but don't you think that by the time someone
leaves high school and enters a technical institution in a (supposedly) high
tech program (Electronic Engineering Technologist) that they would
understand DOS and WinXXXX ? I sure did, and considering that win 95/98 have
dos environments, why would they be trying to push DOS 6.22 and win 3.11?

        Just a question and all...

                                I Remain,
                                    Death Bringer
