(the avatex 1200 hc is much better than the avatex 1200... for the extra $50 that the hc costs, you get most of the AT command set, a speaker, no need to switch baud rates manually, and the S register functions...) 2) the chameleon dos utilities menu has most of what you need from the dos 2.x menu world... directory with wildcarding, copying (as we all know by now, using the device names E: and P:, this allows you to view a file or print it by copying it either to E: or P: respectively)... i have been using it under spartados, and it works just fine... that John Palevich is/was a great programmer... -- usenet: .....!decvax!cwruecmp!bammi jwahar r. bammi csnet: bammi@case arpa: bammi%case@csnet-relay compuServe: 71515,155
