Hi, someone must have implemented it on MS-DOS. (MS-DOS is that software that keeps zillions of PC/XT/AT/Clones running for you purists out there) To my defense I must say that I would prefer to run Unix on my box (286) if I could afford it (386 etc). Now enough of the :-)-O stuff: Can someone please indicate if a version of perl exist for ms-dos and where (exactly) one can grab it. I have no ftp (remember this is Africa) but can use the princeton mail-ftp server, which works very very well. (We use a perl script of course to facilitate the process) If I know the host and the subdirectory and the exact name, I can grab it myself. If however someone wishes to email me the uuEncoded ZIP/ZOO/tar.Z/LHC/ARC of perl.EXE, I will forever be grateful. regards, el -- Dr. Eberhard W.
