pre-s. - Bizarre: sent this out yesterday around 16 hrs GNT (and it _did_ go out, the ISP's mailserver acknowleded) and I didn't see it appearing on the list ever since. 24 hrs queue ?! -hc
-------- Bob - that's a great idea ! And what's even better is that you _do_ what I was pondering about <bg>. (I had picked up a Mandrake 9.2 set a goog month agogo but not yet played with it, wanted to update/improve an earlier Mdk-install on a laptop where it has to coexist with Win98 and a real DOS.) The first time I tried DOSemu - about two years ago - was the last time and I didn't get far with it; the sore points were that it didn't allow precisely thoses hardware-near things which are best done in DOS, like direct port addressing (especially printer), other input/output doings. Maybe DOSemu has developed since; at the time it must have been some 0.6-or-so version. (I never tries seriously again, use DOS straight away instead.) I'll bundle a package of the DOS-suite I use permanetly (dialler, packet driver are so-to-say standard; send-mail, fetch-meil are WATTCP based combines, the mail/file reader/manager is my own brew and the most critical in that respect as it uses DOS functions heavily) and send you the URL to download. Assuming it's more comfortable this way than a huge email. kreetinckx, -heimo // Heimo Claasen // <hammer at revobild dot net> // Brussels 2004-01-01 The WebPlace of ReRead - and much to read ==> http://www.revobild.net To unsubscribe from SURVPC send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe SURVPC in the body of the message.
