I have a system with DOS/W4WG, NT Server 3.51 and FreeBSD. Installed in that order, and using FreeBSD's loader, the installation is problem free. Choosing DOS to load, starts up NT's loader, allowing choice of DOS and the various NT kernels Please back up your NT. There are so many situations where NT must be reinstalled, that you are making me nervous:-) -- tom@tomqnx.com Tom Torrance 27 Dayton Cr., Nepean Ont., Canada K2H 7N8 My opinions are personal, and not those of my employer.
