I apply patches. I also have win 3.1, win 95, win 98, win 2000, debian, ms-dos 6.x dr-dos 6.x, and more on this computer. I like to test applications I write on various platforms. There are things I must use other OS's for (DirectX, MS-DOS-Games, Emulators, and so forth). ----- Win95 /n/: 32-bit extension to 16-bit shell for an 8-bit operating system written for a 4-bit computer by a 2-bit company that can't stand 1-bit of competition! _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
