Yes.  Business run riot, in a war against the people  :-/

Remember I came in wanting to be sure I could get Procomm Plus for DOS to 
work under XP, and you've basically told me I'd be very lucky  ;-)  But if 
I am forced to move to XP at work, as seems inevitable, I'll try to get 
Take Command on board for the DOS command-line stuff that isn't going to 
upset Windows.

There I'm surprised, because my current boss and former boss were both mad 
keen on OS/2 for running their nodes.  Both were/are major mail movers, so 
they really need a heavy-duty OS.

I don't have the space for more than a laptop ATM but it's sort of occurred 
to me that several computers running different OSs might be the best way to 
get things done.  I hadn't thought of tying a home system together with a 
network, though, and that might be useful.

     Regards,

              Robert.
