First of all, I did not set out to create a fictitious problem. All I wanted to do at the time was to run a "demo" that is it. Oh, I don't know it was my first experience with Win95.5 and I am not proclaiming to be an expert on Win95.5 . However, the fault of the real problem lies with Win95.5 and not with me . As I said before if Win95.5 had detected a config.sys problem it should have tried to prompt the user or default booting to dos . My point is that at the time I had no idea how to fix the problem from the Win95.5 side of things. Lets but in another way, I am the only one in the world who has attempted to modify config.sys to run a "legacy" dos program with Win95 8) >I'm sure Win95 has plenty of real flaws, could we try discussing them >instead of this contrived crap? Lets see, since Win95 has multitasking does it support paging or does all the process' space needs to reside in memory? Does Win95 provide pre-emptive scheduling for 32bit applications? Has anyone benchmark a Win95 WebServer? I am assuming that such a thing already exists for Win95. With tcp/ip, How fast is Win95's file sharing against something like NFS? Can the release version of Win95's tcp/ip do routing? Can you use a Win95 system while the system is also a server for instance a WebServer? Bare in mind how robust is the system from recovering from ill behaved applications... -- Amancio Hasty Hasty Software Consulting Services Tel: 415-495-3046 Fax: 415-495-3046 Cellular: 415-309-8434 e-mail: hasty@star-gate.com Powered by FreeBSD
