I disagree with the statement that you will be happy when you get
ox.sys. Some kind soul (thanks!) emailed it to me, but my problems
didn't go away after installation because it is not really written to
run in 386-Enhanced mode.

When I grumbled about this, some other kind soul (thanks again),
mailed me a program called winrip.exe, which you add to the load/run
lines in win.ini, which also sends the output from AUX to the
monochrome monitor. This works much better for me.

Both programs are now on cica.cica.indiana.edu

What are you supposed to do when an internet
address is at the end of a sentence? Sticking in a '.' could be
confusing... This is a user interface problem (seriously)!
