Precisely. You can't get ANY work done until you get the data OFF
of the the LOSEDOS platform.
As it is..the data was generated ON Unix...but I had some stupid manager
who wanted the data in Excel format.
Just the mere cut-and-paste operations took several HOURS of literally
painful (to my arm and wrist) mouse operations
Doing the equivalent in Unix would have taken 5 minutes...

I did use the tools available. I manipulated the data as best as possible
on Unix...but the mere straight migration of the 5 tables to the LoseDOS
platform was more work than massive reformatting of the original data
(90 days worth of system performance data; 1 file/day).

Which was NOT released until after the corporate market had been
arm-twisted into "upgrading" from 95 to 97 by installing the 97
virus on key corporate officers' desktop and laptop machines.

Why should I have to do that, if the entire suite is on the CD.
Or are you saying that the entire suite is NOT on the CD...and that the
filter was put out seperately.

Only when the naturally occuring monopolizing company observes the law.
Microsoft has sustained it's monopoly status for a long time by
