"640K should be enough for anybody" Seriously, we busted the 100 byte limitation a long time ago and had to invent a hokey bypass that nobody likes much. Whether our infrastructure is "well-designed" is arguable, but there were good reasons for doing things this way. 256 bytes is as arbitrary as 100 was. Why *not* extend to 32 or 64KB? -- David Andrews A. Duda and Sons, Inc.
