well, i think migrating to OpenDOS is certainly a reasonable option, at
least once emm386 gets fixed (yes, i know, it's fixed in NovellDOS,
etc...) especially since it's *free*, and MSDOS, realistically, comes
with the price tag of Bill's legacy, even if you didn't pay for your
copy!!  my own hope is that i will have the fortitude to get my boss
into Linux, and get my wife to use LaTeX, and then shuffle off this 640k
coil for good... in the meantime, everything works real good doesn't
it?  DJGPP is a far more complete *product* than MVC (or whatever it's
called), and win311 works just fine!

sorry about correcting your grammar, it just looked so funny.
