Thanks Randall. But you've proven that you have what it takes to hunt down and fix problems in doscmd, so I am going to go down on my knees and plead with you to spend a little time trying DOS programs and making them work. There are plenty of people here (as you've seen) that can point you in useful directions; what's needed is someone like you that can spare a little time to do the pushing.

That's correct. But we could use someone actually *trying* it. > Michael J. Graffam : > |Cool. Will doscmd run 32 bit DOS games, like Duke Nukem 3d and Warcraft > |II? Not as it stands, no. But as you have the software already, and a machine on which they run as reference, you're in an ideal situation to make a bit of a name for yourself hacking it so they do. 8) -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\
