I found your Comments on winows of much interest. But, I stil find much to complain about MS-windows, the 386 version in particular. Most of the problems still exist because Windows is still a mutated descendant of DOS. One of the most anoying is the fact that they must use their own EMS driver, because there is still not standard way of multiple drivers entering the 80386 protected mode. This causes a lot of incompatibilites with the current batch of EMS emulators that do backfills, romcaching, hi-mem driver loading, ect. But, I do like this terminal package I just saw for windows. As you change the size of the terminal window, the font size is dynamicaly changed to fit it, so you have a constant number of rows/cols visible. It looked great. What do you think? Any chance of seeing this in ATalk IV? +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Dennis Gorrie 'Chain-Saw Tag... | |GORRIEDE AT UREGINA1.BITNET Try It, You'll Like It!'| +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
