After many months of running SCO ODT, I have yet to encounter a problem with the MERGE DOS support. I have run all sorts of hackery on it: keyboard, VGA and comm port mungers, Word 5, and a whole bunch more. Of course, I wouldn't load Lotus if it were free. Such druk that wants to screw with strange disk I/O (copy protection schemes) *won't* work with DOS under UNIX. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Warren Tucker, TuckerWare emory!n4hgf!wht or wht@n4hgf.Mt-Park.GA.US ANSI C should have been named D, or Son of C
