They call it "command mode" now, but it works fine. * XP 64-bit, Vista 64-bit (Windows 7 is still too new for me to claim any experience with it) do not support 16-bit applications at all. They have a command prompt that does accept DOS commands, but unless there is a registry hack or something I am unaware of, there isn't a way to run 16-bit DOS or 16-bit Windows applications in 64-bit Windows without running it a virtual machine (examples include Virtual PC or DOSBox). Anyone with a system over 4 GB of memory, they are very likely running Windows 64-bit to be able to fully access all the available memory.

No. What you wrote was .. Oh forget it. You are obviously totally unable to follow a thread.

Bush and Obama are pretty much the same to me in most > respects; the only difference being Bush's superior ability to draw fire. Is that hindsight speaking? The two administrations aren't even remotely treated or judged the same by either the media -or- world opinion (see: Nobel Peace Prize), and Obama's actual record of accomplishment is: A) non-existent, at less than a year in office (except for a record setting drop in the polls), and B) a veritable skeleton of his pre-election claims, i.e., repairing our national reputation (Clinton's blunders, and Obama getting punked by -everyone-, the Italians, French, Iranians, Palestinians, Chavez, the IOC. Russia slapping him around Europe). C) ending bipartisanship, no pork, no lobbyists, no tax increases, ending the wars, or "repairing" the economy. D) the attack on Fox. The press is just beginning to get hungry, and the 2010 elections are going to be a bloodletting. -- -- Popeye "If one does as God does enough times, one will become as God is." -Dr. Hannibal Lector. www.finalprotectivefire.com http://picasaweb.google.com/Popeye8762
