After asking someone 'at Microsoft' some questions regarding painfully obvious utilities, platforms, etc, etc, he stated "Oh, we've had that stuff internally for years..." Now, about those hooks into the operating system that they don't tell anyone about. I wonder how many wonderous things they are going to put into dos5.0 for 'internal use only'. I just hope the FTC slaps them silly for pulling stunts like this. I'm not holding my breath, however. Lets just hope that they make the silly thing re-entrant. I'm not holding my breath, however. tima@agora.rain.com PS: As much as I dislike Micormoron, I really really like their mice, Word and EXCELL are pretty darn cool, and we are currently porting our application to Win3. I still don't like them. We will be using BCC+, if I can ever fit C600, BCC+, Brief and DOS on a 33meg partition...
