Well, thank you for the helpful information re: the config.sys file, viewing PNG files, etc. My original thought is that I would use the fast-booting DOS OS to narrow my focus to just a few activities, and I haven't really done that. Too used to internet, email, etc etc!
But I still think it's really neat. I am playing around with the DOS program Dates, and some other stuff. Honestly, seems to be easier to run stuff in a "DOS" window in XP than booting straight to DOS because of the aforementioned availability of internet, sound just works, etc. But I have the option if I want. Thanks for your quick and helpful responses; it's appreciated! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ October Webinars: Code for Performance Free Intel webinars can help you accelerate application performance.
