 [ Quoting KENNETH ABRAMS to SCOTT LITTLE ] 
 SL> Since my BBS is DOS based, it presents a little problem when trying

 KA> And that's the core of your "problems" with OS/2. Your refusal to
 KA> recognize that OS/2 is *not* DOS and that when changing operating 
Hahaha. Nice sidestep.
First the teamsters come along, criticise me for using Win95, telling me that
OS2 can beat it no matter what. They also tell me that DOS support under OS2
is better than REAL DOS!!!
And THEN, YOU tell me that OS2 is not DOS and that is what my problem is. Yet
Win95 can do it just fine.
 KA> How much control of session settings do you have under Windows?
Program Information Files (PIF).
 KA> you  run individual sessions with completely different properties,
 KA> loading  device drivers in some sessions, but not in others, different
 KA> amounts of  memory allocated, maybe even different versions of DOS,
 KA> etc.?
See above
 KA> BTW, did you ever bother to look at REXX? I've never used them 
 KA> personally, but there are a number of object related functions, 
 KA> including setting properties and opening objects. 
I have no interest in a script language at this time.
