I've found the best way to get Dave Davidson to do something that he has
failed at, is to tell him it can be done, but HE can't do it.

IMO it is all just a game to him.  The thrill of the challenge.

 GH> And his grasp of the whole thing in general is exceptional

I think he knows what's up.  As a SysOp and beta tester for 1/2 a dozen prgms
during the last decade, he has done very well.  But like the rest of us old
timers, I'm not so sure he can still remember it all at once.  I asked him
last week end if he had re-read all my previous msgs about installing OS/2.
He said: "Yeah, all 5000 of them."  Of course at that time I didn't know he
had come up with this new M$ related problem.  Leave it to Dave to find a
problem that 99% of the rest of us don't have.  I still can't figure why LLF
didn't solve the problem.

 GH> I sure wish he would rid himself of the M$ Virus. 

A while back I told him to bury all his WinXX install CDs 6 feet deep and then
put a plaque on top that says: "Now I can rest in peace!"

     Thanks and Good Luck,        Andy Roberts
