Brian, Guus, and others Next Monday I will meet with Jos Schaars again, the man who wrote vDos. I already have a small list to go through, like the (high) use of the processor, different keyboards, Tame, etc.
I will suggest Jos to become part of the DP list and then we can see what can be done with vDos.
