I simply want to state that:
I APPLAUD ANYONE STILL USING msDOS 6.22 !!

I have found MS-windows 95/98 to be UNBELIEVABLY UNSTABLE,
UNprofessionally designed, and UNtested by everyday ordinary people,
AS-WELL-AS experienced users BEFORE being placed on the market!
MS should be GIVING AWAY msWin95/98 for all the good it does!

I refuse to install ANY version of ms-windows that would NOT allow me
to boot to PLAIN ORDINARY __PURE__ DOS mode!!

...AND...
and more thing:

I have discovered that Compiling a DJGPP project in Win95 and THEN
trying to run the SAME PROJECT in _pure_ DOS 6.22/4DOS, that
VERY SAME project CORE-DUMPS on me!
I was NOT trying to have any kind of dependence on Win95/98
WHATSOEVER!  and Until I fix this problem, I am stuck on a very
interesting and rather worthwhile project!
I am planning on a TOTAL RE-WRITE, FULLY MODULAR design,
done one stage at a time.... in nothing but DOS 6.22 with 4DOS
6.01 !!  (if you don't have 4DOS, PLEASE look into it... really
saves the day with many advanced extensions to DOS).

Well....comments and rebuttals are always welcomed.
