I do *make* the programs in DOS mode under Win95, but my programs *should* all
be dos programs primarily.

I like many operating systems. MS-DOS, Win3.x, Win95, AmigaDOS being my
favorites.
I know what you mean about many programs being for Win95... that`s the main

I started off (on PCs at least) with MS-DOS too. I didn`t have XTG to help me
until later though. :o)
My *first* operating system was AmigaDOS/Workbench - unless you call VicBasic
an OS. :o)
