MS-DOS has IBMBIO.COM, IBMDOS.COM, and $COMMAND.COM, but Windows does not have any files like that so you can use $it as an operating system. In my opinion, it is a PROGRAM, not an OS. Novell NetWare 286 (at least, the SFT variety), then, is an OS since it has its own boot sector and loads as soon as the POST has finished. So far, so good. But you're telling me that NetWare 386 isn't an OS, since a NetWare 386 server boots under DOS, then runs the Novell server program. Sorry, I can't buy that. -- __ __ _ | ...!nexus.yorku.edu!xrtll!silver | always (__ | | | | |_ |_) >----------------------------------< searching __) | |_ \/ |__ | \ | if you don't like my posts, type | for _____________________/ find / -print|xargs cat|compress | SNTF
