RK|It's sad, the level of ignorance present in the OS/2 community.

    Yup, you got that right.  Only it ain't JdeBP you're talking about!

  | You show me
  | a stupid basic application that relies on the operating system to do any 
  |and all I/O. Virusi by-pass the operating system entirely. Get it? Good.

    Just for kicks, boot up a VDM and run something that bypasses the OS
entirely, a sector editor, a DOS game or something.  Hmmm... run the DOS game
in a window.  Hey, isn't that doing DIRECT SCREEN WRITES?  Why does it only
print in a window?
