I could post it to mod.binaries.* for hackers to take a peek into it, but I doubt the usefulness of such a posting. I certainly don't have the means (read: knowledge :) to check it out. Guess we will know when (sigh) the blitters arrive. As for the MS-Doz emulator Robtek sells: a friend of mine dug deep into the code of the program and found out (as he says) something like 50 percent of the code consists of nulls (0's, zero's, noughts). Guess the program would seem too small in it's original size :) Paul 'Red' Molenaar
