Greg

You posted from yourself to yourself so Hector may or may not see your message.

Wildcat! 7

Hector has previously stated that Wildcat! v7.0 is essentially a recompile
under the latest production version of Microsoft Visual Studio VC++. I
believe once he is confident that base recompile is operating without issue
then he will look to add new functionality.

DOS

There is no ROI for developers with regards to DOS or DOSx projects.

The configuration most sysops has agreed on is:

1. An up to date 32/64 bit OS
2. Installation of a Virtualisation environment such as Virtualbox
3. Install an old DOS friendly OS in the VM environment
4. Install wcOnline in the VM and run DOS doors with the VM/OS
