Thanks :-)

BTW - I have GRUB installed now, with M$DOS on the second partition, 
and OPENDOS on the first.  Since they can each read each other's 
partitions, I simply swap drive letters in their respective path 
statements and driver loaders, viz.:

MS: PATH=C:\;C:\DOS;C:\WINDOWS...C:\INT\IE30 etc...
OD: PATH=C:\;C:\OPENDOS;C:\WINDOWS...D:\INT\IE30 etc...

This also works, but requires some duplication of files... as in the 
windows files (setups).

Take care ...

Jim
