Tee hee hee Barry,<BR>

It may be worth what it cost you... $0<BR>
<BR>
On another thread, I did a minor agony over the NOS on Windows note - I misspoke.<BR>
It was certainly because I had not researched the issue carefully due to my personal prejudges.<BR>
Microsoft has integrated backward compatibility at some level in all their Windows offerings. In the W-95 / W-98 days, I and a lot of my peers had really bad experiences with DOS on WIN so eons ago I made up my mind that if software was not released for the environment it was run in it did not get much attention from me. That opinion has survived / until now...<BR>
<BR>
I'm delighted to hear nos is well enough behaved, and perhaps XP is mature enough, that nos will run on top of Win. OK, so a couple special things are added, so there are a few shortcomings, and Jay pokes fun, but at least it seems like a good beginners test bed. Thanks to this reflector and it's participants.<BR>
<BR>
Thanks for the correction...<BR>
