I had been wondering about the original "horror stories" message. The reply quoted above sounds reasonable to me. Being only borderline computer-literate, I let the install disk do the work for me. I just answered its simple questions, watched my computer reboot a couple of times, and voila -- I've been a happy user of DV ever since. The only time I've looked at the manual since the day I installed DV was when I decided to add a script to automatically load BIGDOS, Wordperfect 5.1, and Procomm Plus. No problem. I load DV from my autoexec.bat and have those three applications running all the time. When I get up in the morning, I turn on my computer and go into the kitchen for coffee. I return to the computer to find three neat boxes sitting on the screen. -- --Natalie (nm1@ra.msstate.edu)
