Isn't DOS DOS, whatever form it takes? I've always thought that if a DOS was properly written to be called by CIO, the CIO calls from an APPLICATION program ought to all be the SAME. The only exception I could think of, would be if one DOS supported MORE commands than the other. Is THAT what the difference is, then? Fill me in, oh ye advanced programmer types! I know the machine pretty well, but am a bit fuzzy on such interactions... -- UUCP: !{iuvax,pur-ee,uunet}!bsu-cs!cfchiesa cfchiesa@bsu-cs.UUCP
