If it wasn't for Lynns computor we would have nothing to talk about today! Ho Ho Ho! Lynn I'm curious. What DOS programs are you using? Its strange just to here that word. Isn't that something our parents use to use back in the early days of computing? Seriously, in my limited experience I wouldn't even bother with them especially with what I've heard about win98. Headache city. Its time to let it go. Just let it go. Good luck sa

*OT* Lynn, I can't answer your question about DOS programs running with Win 98 because I have Win 95. I did a quick search and found where you can get the info: idgbooks.com This book site has the Windows 98 for Dummies(I do not imply you are a dummy at all :o). In Chapter 13: Uh, How Do I Run My Old DOS Programs? should have your answer. Kelvin P.S. You can't read the book online just view the table contents. If your not interested in the whole book, stop by a local bookstore and read that part only.

You said: <<Since you seem quite knowlegable, here's one I have asked a number of people in computer stores with a total lack of success in an answer: assuming my new PC is going to be using Windows 98, will I still be able to disable Windows and work straight from DOS, as I can now?>> I have a newer machine and when I tried to run DOS dependant programs like Lemmings they won't run. Win95 on this machine emulates DOS and there is no DOS on this machine...just a fake Win95 simulation. And I have the newer machine because my other one was toast. Ginger
