}Thanks.

I am about to submit a "BIOS-only" version of STEVIE V3.69, the portable
VI subset which was posted not long ago to comp.binaries.ibm.pc.  The DOS 
version in the original posting required nansi.sys or nnansi.sys.  This 
is not a bad thing, but the license provisions for nansi/nnansi preclude 
commercial use which could be a problem.  There may be other reasons to 
want a version which depends only on the ROM BIOS - mine was that I 
wanted to make it work on the TI Pro where nansi/nnansi would be of no 
use whatsoever.

regards, Larry
