I'm no fan of DOS but before you condemn it for that consider the piles of garbage that passes for software these days that people load on their systems and then complain that the OS is broke. If the fault is in the oerating system I would suspect that it is that ordinary programs have access to the hardware but then we already knew that didn't we? -- D'Arcy J.M.
