Paul, Sorry! I am a computer programmer, so I will set you straight. DOS was originally developed by a small firm in Seattle. (Actually, by ONE guy, but I forget his name) Bill Gates initially paid $50K for DOS. It was a rippoff of CP/M. IBM contracted Gates to develop DOS because Gary Kildall of Digital Research was reluctant. As for PRST, I expect them to be bought out one day by Kodak or Agfa, so you may be right to say that they may not be around in 5 years! Dont stay short for 5 years though! --Olu E.
