What a load of vacuous verbage that was!

Actually, I also became annoyed with MSI's update patches, which 
significantly changed the manner in which QMPro handled netmail 
(around v1.52 I think it was).  It became unusable, then I had
all those Trap 000E problems with OLX, although it turned out to
be something else, PKZip's DPMI clashing with OLX's non-DPMI, or 
something like that.  So I pissed it off.  ;-)

Strangely enough, even if I was running native DOS, I'd simply be
using the DOS versions of the software I'm already using, mainly
because I happen to like them, and the flexibility they offer.

Well, that's my story, and I'm sticking to it.  ;-)

Regards, Bill
