[ Stuff deleted ] I find this amusing! Evereybody claims that MSDOS is superior to UN*X, as - it runs on small disks - it runs in barely 1M of memory But in the meantime, everybody is waiting for new releases with more and better features that closely resemble those features that our beloved UN*X has! I see the day coming that MSDOS finally catches up with UN*X having all the features the users want! But then - You'll need LARGE disks (Already MSDOS is breaking the 40MB barrier) - You definitely need more than 1M of memory. -- | Josef Moellers | c/o Siemens Nixdorf Informationssysteme AG | | USA: mollers.pad@nixdorf.com | Abt.
