No wonder Microsoft are so cordially hated.  It's not in fact that I'm 
indissolubly wedded to DOS, as that I need a command line, and DOS has long 
been the command line I'm familiar with and the one that works with 
Windows.  All those little DOS apps strung together in batch files mean I 
can make mini-apps of my own without real programming, and not many DOS apps 
have been re-written for Win 32-bit command lines.  

     Regards,

              Robert.
