<<I have several older DOS apps which are indispensible to me. I could replace
some of them with their windows upgrades for a combined total of several

performance and create some backwards compatibility problems. I don't consider
the software broken - but, it necessarily uses bitmapped fonts, and was
written at a time when Hercules Mono was the highest resolution out there.
