Do you really think MS will *care*? Outfits like that care in direct proportion to the amount of money that might be involved. If they thought there was still money in MS-DOS, they never would have released the source Jack claims to have looked at. Going after something like FreeDOS would take far more time and expense than it would conceivably be worth, and I can't see them bothering. What would be in it for them? It's your project and your call, but I think you're borrowing trouble. ______ Dennis ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Site24x7 APM Insight: Get Deep Visibility into Application Performance APM + Mobile APM + RUM: Monitor 3 App instances at just $35/Month Monitor end-to-end web transactions and take corrective actions now Troubleshoot faster and improve end-user experience.
