MS is using CP's undelete, unformat, mirror, and format programs, and CP gets to use the "MS-DOS 5.0 look and feel" in their PC-Tools version 7.0! So if you want to use PC-FORMAT version 7.0, just use the format.com that came with your DOS 5.0 -- it's the same! Now I wonder if they managed to make PC-Cache work with Win3.0? And just what is a DOS 5.0 look and feel? Maybe we should ask Lotus for an interpretation. :-) -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Roy Schmidt | #include <disclaimer.h> Indiana University | /* They are _my_ thoughts, and you can't Graduate School of Business | have them, so there! */
