LDOS/LSIDOS has a "massive" array of features as well, most of which are useful and not fluff added to make a system useful. I would be very interested to hear what features of newdos you use everyday. newdos & LDOS/LSIDOS attack things from different angles but that doesn't mean one is better than the other. By the way, where can I get a new version of newdos for the 3? the 4? can it run in 4 mode? Can it handle dates past 1987? Does it timestamp files? I only used a stripped down version that came with a canned package but I'm willing to listen as to why it's that much better than LDOS/LSIDOS. What was the last version of LDOS/LSIDOS that you used? 5.3 or 6.3? -Rob
