Windows for Workgroups has a breakthrough not even a shrink could love. Robert X. Cringley "Want to experience your own feeling of absolute power? Run Windows for Workgroups 3.11 with sharing enabled, then install Microsoft's TCP/IP stack and connect to the Internet by router or modem. Finally, go to Connect under the File menu and see how many PCs are available to link to. Depending on how your fire wall is working (or not) you may find *hundreds* of workstations available for connecting all over the country. "The friend who told me about this had perused with impunity hard disks at Microsoft itself, then told them. When Microsoft finally came up with an answer, they called it an undocumented feature of the product." -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- David Poole Networking under Dos is like davep@tommy.extendsys.com adding a fifth leg to a cow.
