ml> that's one of the main things that daynbr does.. actually, the main
ml> thing... but i also thought you said that you were able to use
ml> 4DOS/4NT/4OS2 (one of them) on your setup...

 DH> No, someone suggested it, but I'm not willing to overlay yet
 DH> another OS/shell! 

oh... i must have misread this following quote, then...

[quote]
 DH> Thanks, Mark -- no, it has to be Windows 32/64 bit.

ml> hummm... may i ask why? a limitation of the OS' console operations?
ml> i don't know how far 4DOS/4OS2/4NT has gone but there may be a 32bit
ml> build of them...

 DH> It's what I run on my desktop. Simple!
[/quote]

i thought the desktop comment was about 4DOS/4OS2/4NT but i can see now that it 
may have been answering my question(s)  as to why it has to be a winwhatever 
thing...

ml> hunh? maybe... but it seems to me that while 16bit is out, 32bit is
ml> in??

 DH> Yes, true.  However, if I have to rewrite for 32, why not for 64? 

on the one hand, sure... but on the other, weeellllll...

ml> wow! i've only ever had v1.0... and it has a misspelling in the
ml> copyright if you hadn't noticed :P

ml> where can i get a/the daynbr v2.1 original archive from Ben Baker??

 DH> I should have it here.... Yes, I do. I can send it to you.... 

thanks! got it... i wonder how it is different from the v1.0 i have?

ml> if you are talking about my "stream of consiousness" stuff, i
ml> dunno... and i can't fathom why it would need to be an executable...
ml> but then again, i don't run a 64bit OS... and likely won't until a
ml> true and real need is depicted that i cannot refuse...

ml> if you have a 64bit machine at your disposal and you want/need to
ml> carry on with your 16bit operations, the only answer these days is
ml> to set up a VM... others have already pointed out the available
ml> recovery options... moving past that is dancing on the razor's edge
ml> but someone has to do it ;) -=B-)

 DH> Yup -- I've got a VM running, but there are a few disadvantages,
 DH> and the challenge of moving ahead is, um, interesting. :-)

disadvantages?

ml> i can only hope that my previous postings have offered some
ml> assistance and an answer to your plight... especially since most
ml> everything in BATPOWER is 16bit ;)

 DH> I do appreciate your help - honest!

de nada, mon... de nada -=B-)
