Well, I think maybe part of it not being ready for prime time was the reason
that it'd not work on my XT.  It had bugs, and they were such that some
functions didn't work too good.

RB>That could be why I never tried it, DV is just too useful  :-)  Isn't there

Well, I don't think the incompatability was with DV proper, but instead with
my BBS software, running under DV, running under DR-DOS.  If I remember
right, it was a memory issue.

Thanks for that link.  I will check it out!
