If so, I must >assume you've not used it. You are absolutely right. I have not used it. I played with it for one day at a friends house and did not like it. I did not like Win3.1 when I first used it, either. I am an old DOS user. A lot of my applications I currently use are DOS programs and I use WFWG3.11 to lauch them. (Better than Software Carousel) I have WSWord6.0c and Excel5.0c and I do use them and for the most part, I like them. My system is an OLD 486 with a few facelifts (My BIOS is dated 11/90.) It's currently a 486dx2/66 with 12mb ram and 1.2gb hard disk partitioned as 2 500mb and 1 200mb drive. My bus is standard isa, vesa wasn't out when I got it. Here's my problem. EVERYTHING CURRENTLY WORKS FINE! With a problem like that, why would I want to upgrade? I will upgrade some day. From what I read in these newsgroups, it will probably be to WinNT, and that will happen when I replace my current system. No current plans to do so yet.... By the way, I really did use EDLIN.... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Barry Burnett (Zilbandy) Tucson, Arizona USA zil@azstarnet.com Windows 95!... from the same people who brought you EDLIN! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
