Yeah, the idea isn't to be perfect, just somewhat useable.  BTW,
given this reduced scope of problem, how many hours of work do
you think it would take to achieve this?  Just IO.SYS, MSDOS.SYS
and COMMAND.COM remember.

At the moment I am reading a 386 data book that Keith Richardson
lent me, which has EVERYTHING about the 386 in it, most of it stuff
that I didn't know.  However, I am also doing a uni subject this
semester, "Operations Research", so don't expect rapid advances this
semester.  Tobruk for instance was mostly idle until I stopped doing
subjects.  BFN.  Paul.
