I have to correct this. Some programs from the above mentioned WDS
uses third party (GSS*CGI) graphic and plotting drivers. I tried
one program that uses graphics and I get:
******************************************************************
Loading GSS Transient graphics drivers...
GSS Device Driver Management Utility
(C)Copyright 1985-1989 Graphic Software Systems, Inc.
All Rights Reserved. Version 2.16
You are using GSS*CGI version 2.16.
Transient GSS device drivers have been loaded and initialized.
Invalid COMMAND.COM
Cannot load COMMAND, system halted
******************************************************************
I think that not the DOS itself tries to load the wrong command.com
but the graphics driver loader.

Zoltan
