Hallo again : - Many thanks to Steve for those two; now back to DOS for a moment - I rate DosNavigator (DN) very highly indeed (always hoped Arachne and DN would run as one some day) and wonder whether mc will ever get as good or whether on the other hand dn will be modified for Linux one day. Also very high in my esteem is the old Microsoft Works 2 (for DOS of course), but I never had a proper set of installation disks. It was late 1980s and was followed by Works 3, which although best known in its Windows form, was also available for DOS. I think one was 3(a) and the other 3(b) but don't know which was which. Would anyone know where copies of the (preferably unmodified) installation disks for 2 or 3 for DOS might be had, for comparative evaluation &c.? Pat
