We had to use Novell; we had too many DOS machines. We started the transition from DOS to Windows while I was there; in fact I was very influential in the decision... One month, while the IT VP was out of town, the IT manager gave me a high-powered (for it's day) system, and a 21" monitor, and we replaced to DOS-based computers and one DEC terminal on my desk with one system running Windows 3.1, running multiple DOS-sessions and one DEC telnet-type session. One DOS system was for development, one was for testing programs against huge data files, and the DEC Vax was for simply checking stuff in and out of CVS; at the time there wasn't a good CVS repository for DOS. The Windows box worked very well, though when the implementation was rolled out, it was first for new hires, saving us about $10,000 per new hire. Using 17" monitors for them of course, though I was lucky enough to keep my 21" monitor through my tenure. Jeff -- Jeff Lasman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Linux and Cobalt/Sun/RaQ Consulting nobaloney.net P.
