After my AUTOEXEC.BAT broke 20k, I said this is TOO MUCH!  I had
to break the file down into smaller chunks which now get called
from my AUTOEXEC.BAT.  I've got a VSCAN.BAT, SBLASTER.BAT, and 14
others.  They now total in at 28k.  :o)  All 4DOS batches of
course.  (Then there is my BAT directory...)  Me and a friend
wrote a small game in 4DOS (text screen).  I'm certainly
qualified for DBCFH status.   :o)
