The point you (and others) don't seem to want to understand (or are some-
how not capable of understanding) if that everything you learned in DOS 6.x

can be applied in Win95 (DOS 7). Period... Many people do not seem to 
understand this. It is quite simple. Win95's MS-DOS mode is the same 
(functionally) as DOS 6.x. By using a second OS it is *YOU* who are doing
the 
headstands. I am paring down to one OS. Ironic, really :-) As Lloyd Case
mentioned in a recent CGW article, DOS games are amazingly simple to 
setup in Win95. And it is true. Who would have ever thought...

Nope, no flames. Just seriously trying to help you (and others)
understand. I normally just pass on these trolls.
