I found your Comments on winows of much interest.  But, I stil find much to
complain about MS-windows, the 386 version in particular.  Most of the problems
still exist because Windows is still a mutated descendant of DOS.  One of the
most anoying is the fact that they must use their own EMS driver, because there
is still not standard way of multiple drivers entering the 80386 protected
mode.  This causes a lot of incompatibilites with the current batch of EMS
emulators that do backfills, romcaching, hi-mem driver loading, ect.

But, I do like this terminal package I just saw for windows.  As you change
the size of the terminal window, the font size is dynamicaly changed to fit
it, so you have a constant number of rows/cols visible.  It looked great.
What do you think?  Any chance of seeing this in ATalk IV?
