Thanks, and e-mail > me if you think I am qualified for coding this. :-) yes.. basicly you want to subscribe to the -emulation list as this is were most of the work is going on.. on the freebsd world.. the program used is doscmd (generously made avaliable from BSDi)... right now the vm86 (which is used to run dos) is in the -current source tree.. Mike Smith <msmith@freebsd.org> would be able to give you a better idea of what's going on... hope this helps... ttyl.. -- John-Mark Gurney Modem/FAX: +1 541 683 6954 Cu Networking Live in Peace, destroy Micro$oft, support free software, run FreeBSD
