Well, this is not really true in tech, though. It works like that in other areas, notably politics (everybody is a "democrat" but the definition varies). I used Linux for a while without any windowing system. IIRC it took some years before that became at all useful. In some ways (for the sake of the argument...) that made DOS and Linux more similar than either were to Windows. Please try to make a truthful statement about Torvald's DOS that is likely to be misunderstood. /Tomas _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
