        I wonder how complicated the routine is that allows Argus/NT to pass 
an open com port to Maximus for DOS?  I would think that the same principle 
that allows Argus, a 32-bit program, to call Maximus/DOS, a 16-bit program, 
would work for Maximus/NT calling DOS doors.  Perhaps it'd be just a "simple" 
re-write.  8-)
        On the other hand, Argus/NT and Maximus/DOS work fairly well for me 
right now.  Still need some learning on Argus, but I'm gradually getting 
there.
