INTERSVR, JOIN, MEMCARD, MEMMAKER, MIRROR, MSAV, MSBACKUP, POWER, PRINT, PRINTER

QBASIC, RAMDRIVE.SYS, RECOVER, REPLACE, RESTORE, SHARE, SMARTMON, TREE, UNDELETE

UNFORMAT, and VSAFE."
I have DOS6.22 and no they didn't, I found most of it was included and that whic
h
wasn't used anymore was put in a subdirectory of my DOS directory. Some of it no
longer ran though, eg EDLIN had a version conflict, but some of it isn't needed.
I know at least a few things are definitely wrong as there mentioned in the manu
al.

The number isn't rounded, that's alll there is. Computer hardware/software is li

you don't have to worry about it too much. Try printing 2 / 3 to 15+ places, you

find a seven at the end. To go to anything more needs a complex software, which
should
probablely be written in Machine Code.
[Database]
I have an idea. Actually it's sort of Netscapes. A Cache. Write the data that ha
s
been changed to the cache, write it the file later. Only play with that data. Of
course it should indicate where the data is supposed to go. Also an offset list
of
each record might be useful, and only load a record as needed.
