>> If Windows 3.1 was not running on MS-DOS, it would show users fake error messages. << I remember this. I was told to look for testers with the message, and to ask them for certain strings from the message, and to pass these on to a certain software developer within MSFT. I really didn't see this as terribly devious and still don't. There was something about DR-DOS which was often choking win 3.1 setup and this particular developer was trying to figure out something about dr-dos. That's why the code was put in. The "bogus error message" contained information for the developer. I'm still here. I've been moving around, trying to get settled. I'm working as a technician - computer purgatory for the confessed software sinner. Since I contributed to the creation and release of sub-optimal software, I pay pennance by servicing the machines. Besides, I love working as a service technician! <g> FWIW Andy
