It looks like WWWMAN has trouble with interpreting available drive letters under plain MS-DOS 7.10; someone who has the sources should carefully check every DOS function call (e.g., with Ralf Brown's Interrupt List). Some internal system structures are much different in DOS 6.x and 7.10, and there are some bugs in MS-DOS 7.10 that "disappear" when Windows GUI (or rather its virtual drivers) takes over much of the DOS functionality. Hope this helps, Michal
