No windows manager, no gedit or geany. ;-)
I used to use EDLIN and COPY CON to write autoexec.bat and config.sys files, and DEBUG to low level format MFM hard drives. ;) And nostagia hits, launch a cmd prompt and enter edlin. Hmm an error message that c:\Windows\SysWOW64\edlin.exe isn't compatible with 64bit Windows. What the??? Says I should contact the vendor to see if a 64 bit version is available... Which is crazier? That Microsoft includes edlin.exe with 64bit Windows 7 Ultimate or that it's included *but cannot be used*? Edit is in there too, but also doesn't work. Tech Net says these are "not available" in 64 bit - so WTH are the program files *included* with 64 bit versions? --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. http://www.avast.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download BIRT iHub F-Type - The Free Enterprise-Grade BIRT Server from Actuate!
