Something else that helped me tremendously is running a program called
"Slicer" by Tom Fotherby (dink). It's only 5K in size, but it makes a WORLD
of difference when dealing with DOS programs. I highly recommend it. It's
free and if any of you want it, it's available via email freq from my system
(send a message to ah2@softhome.net with the subject of FREQ and in the body
FREQ SLICER10.ZIP).
It really whips some DOS programs into shape. I really like it.
Later,
Sean
