I stand corrected.

Yes I am probably a little biased, as I man not even a casual Windows
User.  Actually I don't even play many games, so rarely run it myself!

I did mention VB and other posibilities I did know about.


My job is as a UNIX expert, something I have been doing for 20 years now,
so I am not in a good position to handle this part of IM.


ASIDE: you are welcome to write me a section on running IM commands from
VB for the "APIs and Scripting" or re-write the notes I make for DOS
usage.

Just cut-paste and edit and mail it to me and I'll format (HTMLize) it and
add/replace the appropriate parts.
