Questions and comments sprang from curiosity: 1. Why not just keep Win98 and boot to DOS when necessary? The machine is dedicated to controling the external hardware and for security has no connections to anything else. The last straw was when I forgot to set the right screen mode before changing to DOS and got crud on the screen. I went back to Windows and still had crud on the screen. Don't ask why - it was probably something really stupid that I did without knowing. It's impossible to use a mouse without a monitor (so much for windows) and it isn't easy to type command line instructions, but with concentration you can do it. 2. Euphoria makes stand alone EXEs. Super 3. EUPHORIA for Linux! Never tried Linux. What is DOS32? There's one from Black Magic and another from irDOS - at least I think that's the name.
