Believe it or not, until very recently I've been working in a project where one really important FTP server runs in a virtual PC under VMWare; this virtual machine runs MS-DOS as its "OS", and the FTP server is just as stable as you will surely suspect. ;-) Unfortunately no one dares to get rid of this installation because there are other programs running in this virtual MS-DOS environment, and no one has the source codes for these programs, nor does anyone have a functional specification so that these programs could be rewritten in a more modern environment. Nice, isn't it? But this is a true story. So far about targeting older systems... Regards, Nico
