any good reason mTCP and DHCP can't update/use WATTCP.directly ? imho there should be a *single* network configuration file, used by *all* network stuff on the machine. changing mTCP to understand WATTCP.CFG is trivial. (WATTCP.CFG has been around for ages, and mTCP is under active development, so mTCP should learn to understand WATTCP.CFG) > For FreeDOS the installer can place M2WAT wherever it makes the most sense. there is no good reason to add, document, or even discuss another program (even if it is open source) with little reason to exist in the first place Tom ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Slashdot TV.
