Re: Outlet magazine

(Honest! some | people seemed to have grievances against INDUG now and again.) | | Brian and Ron always seemed to be busy, as they ran OUTLET in its various | formats for profit.

It is hard work isn't it, to type one command. My point exactly, typing a few calls could hardly be considered difficult, and at least with HDOS you have full use of the drive. Okay, BDOS may be good in other respects, but you have to agree that it is still not the ideal hard dos.
