I imagine that I will be essentially DOS only for quite a while yet...
as long as my resident wizard can keep writing fixes for things so that
I can still work in DOS.  We do have Win95 on this machine, but it boots
directly into DOS, and if for the occasional thing windows is needed for
something graphical, we can start it up just for that and then go back
to DOS when done.  Even then, it's usually keys rather than point-and-
click, whenever possible.  :)

 TL> Don't be so long in posting....there have to be other DOS folks
 TL> aroun(g). 

I'd hope there were... :)  I've run into a few still... :)  But I rarely
have much to put onto the echo, as I'm just using the magic spells on
the box as I was taught by my wizard...  ;)  The announcement of this*
fix, however, seemed important enough... :)

... DOS = venerable;  Win95 = vulnerable
