It works much better without using the Poor Messy Dos Kludge commonly known as VP/ix. We started using VP/ix and abandoned it when we had more problem calls per day (5 systems) than from all of our mini-computer sites (over 80). Look in some old (about May 1990) issues of Computer Shopper for some insights on setting up WP on VP/ix (Xenix version came out shortly after that, six months later, we were using Xenix version, it works very well. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Douglas A.
