I used 4DOS for awhile, then stopped using it. Reason: I run DOG (the Disk OrGanizer - that defragments hard disks which has been another recent thread here.). Issue was that DOG is guided by the FAT to do its work, and 4DOS seemingly reads the directory once. When DOG is finished, DIR lists a really screwy directory, with file sizes in the 15 billion byte range, and so on. Since keeping my disk clean and organized is of more importance to me than the 4DOS shell, I tossed out 4DOS. -- Ted Koppel CARL - Colorado Alliance of Research Libraries = BITNET: TKOPPEL@DUCAIR UUCP: uunet!isis!tkoppel or tkoppel@du.edu
