I have to agree. If you are working on a Model 3, get LDOS 5.3, and mung that! LDOS is CHEEP now, and it's an excellent OS. There is also the fact that any directory perversion you come up with will also most likely work under LSI-DOS 6.3 for the Model *4*. I would LOVE to have a tree directory structure; it's one of the exceedinly few things that Mess-DOS does better than LSI-DOS. ---- George Madison -------------------- 'Your logic is impeccable, Captain; we are in grave danger.' -------------------- BITNET: 7gmadiso@pomona UUCP: psuvax1!pomona.bitnet!7gmadiso ARPA: 7gmadiso%pomona@wiscvm.wisc.edu

Hi guys ...
I have used LDOS 5.1.x on my Model 3, but I use DOSPLUS more.
Anyone out there using DOSPLUS 3.5?? I believe it is easier to work
with than LDOS. I don't do much with the ole grey box anymore, but I
still play with it now and again.
I also have a graphics board on my machine. Anyone out there have
any interesting graphics applications that are public domain??

I didn't think I'd be using a Model 4 very much, so compatibility wasn't an issue and I was thinking of MAJOR changes (ie get rid of passwords, for example -- it's a waste of memory for me) In short, I want a baby UNIX. Now, with that 768K memory board I keep hearing about, it might just be possible :-) Of course, if you're talking compatibility, that wasn't a priority... So use LDOS if you're into filters or major disassembly, but I'll stick with s known quantity. Besides, think of all the WONDERFUL changes you could make to fix the problems it's got! --Robert Robert Bowdidge ========================================================================== ..ucbvax!cory!bowdidge | bowdidge%cory@ucbvax.BERKELEY.EDU | or bowdidge@cory.BERKELEY.EDU E2A Cloyne Court 2600 Ridge Road Berkeley CA 94709-1099 (415) 549-6367 o o o "Neil, the bathroom's free... unlike this country under the Thatcher Junta!" --- Ric the Radical Poet
