Not too foolish  

His own autoexec.bat was just zero length, empty dummy.
If his autoexec.bat was not empty, I'd just add my two
lines to his autoexec.bat.

He used Windows XP without real mode (DOS) settings at all.
So his machine was good for my action - just to copy what I need.

MS is not fool too, with their Windows XP, be sure.

You can take your autoexec.bat from Win95 box, put
it onto XP box, copy all files required by autoexec.bat
onto XP and get working real mode on XP, it seems to me now.

I'll try it if I buy XP for myself.

But your cooments are very important, yes, Pete.

You must *add* needed lines into existing autoexec.bat
and can put your own one if existing one is *empty*.

Thanks.
