Yes, nice and easy commands. Records act just as well as directories... and let's face it - doesn't MS-DOS really internally treat subdirectories and contents as one big file anyway IIR? I suppose you could go to the hassle of defining sub proceedures to replace the calls in HDOS but who could be arsed loading them up all the time? > And that is what makes Bdos better as Hdos, Easy to use (only a few new > tricks to learn).

I suppose "SB" would mention about the lack of MasterBasic compatibility... but I've stopped using that ages ago due to the bugs littering it! > And the fact that it uses RECORDS does not bother the people who are using > it to much or am i wrong? Its a bit strange first but you get used to it. Oooooo! It's so hard to use! I mean, one extra keyword to remember! Oh, how hard! (Sarcasm intentional!) But seriously, it's no hassle to use. Martijn's modifications on Outwrite 2 turn it into a wordprocessor worth using finally! > -- > Robert van der Veeke, aka RJV Graphics > [EMAIL PROTECTED] David (Atom owner! And proud of it!)
