Similarly one can use pbrush to look at .BMPs and even do small mods, not a fantastic drawing program but when I remember the apps that come with Dos (eg EDLIN), I think that we have seen some improvement. Yes, that's a good summary. Write, the edlin of Windows. ;-> I must admit, that the first time I tried Windows I thought that MicroS*t had once done something more or less right. Now that I've taken a closer look, I still think that they did a fairly good job, but they are late in bringing out Windows 3.1, knowing the types of bugs 3.0 has... Anyway, it gives a good reason for Apple to lower their obnoxious prices. Quote-of-the-day: "I really don't know anything about computers, I use a Apple Macintosh..."
