Hey Carol!

 CS> Well, it was the best we had then ;-)

Understood.  Definetly not my cup of tea though.

 CS> Sorry.  Front End Processor.

Ah!  That makes sense.  I got it now.

 CS> I wrote the SOP for the Burroughs 2900 mainframe FEP

Errrrr ... (S)tandard (O)perating (P)rocedure?

 CS> an NAM for that one .

NAM?!?!?!  I am guessing M = Merit.  Beats me about the rest.  NA = Not
Available?  ;-)

 CS> Yeah, but a DOS box with no reboot, running flawless for 8.5
 CS> months is not to be sneezed at!

I don't see why it shouldn't, unless the power goes down.  If you don't
give DOS too much to do then it is stable.  However I can't see it being
run on too modern of systems so as long as whatever you have it on hangs in
there and can connect then it should be alright.  Personally I prefer more
out of a computer then DOS can handle, old or new equipment.  I found DOS
far too limiting.  I don't miss it at all.

P.S.  I give up.  It was fun for awhile.
