: Why do you call DOS DOZE? Is DOZE your name for the
: DOS emulation box in Windows 9x? Or do you call it
: Sindows NTrash?

DOS and WINDOWS end with a similar sound: doze. So DOZE is DOS (any
variant) and WINDOZE is WINDOWS (any variant) and *DOZE is all
variants thereof. Additionaly WINDOZE is really behaving like it's
dozing most of the time. Pure or plain DOZE I call plain DOZE.


Right,
