The two versions I saw put my PCs (Compaq, PC1, PCAT, and AT&T PC) to sleep. I heard and saw several similar complaints. Unless well debugged, and *tested* on several PC compatibles, PLEASE REFRAIN from posting. thank-you

I have run the version of PC-SHELL downloaded from the net on my AT&T PC 6300 with no apparent problems.

I have run the version of PC-SHELL > downloaded from the net on my AT&T PC 6300 with no apparent problems. I have run PC-SHELL on an IBM PC/XT an IBM PC/AT and a Wells American AT clone (a nice machine, by the way), and it has worked beautifully. I can only suggest that for those who find it crashing, to check whether they downloaded it in binary format or in text file format (those extra CR's in front of "NL's" sure wreck havoc with microprocessor programs). However, in the documentation for the PC-SHELL, didn't the author say that he would like a "donation" of >$25 for a disk with the sources and some utility programs. It sounds like it would be a bargain, to me.
