Even my copy of dos is DRDOS. bg: Funny - mine is NovellDOS 7 :-) Haven't cracked it in several months, though . . . . . . it sits next to the only Win box in the house, in Da Missus' office, KVM'ed to the Win98 box. We use Tulip on it for her to simulate DWS to access my Fedora for mail and browsing - the 4th box (server/firewall) doesn't give her 98 box Net access, naturally. One of these days I'll add a fifth box out in the A/V complex for jukebox duties, but that's a whole 'nother project. Probably have to hire a pro to pull the CAT5 for that location, dang it.
