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.

Regards,
Zoltan
