ObNewsHack: Our news server won't let me post more commented material than new. Seems it just looks for the > symbol at the beginning of the line. So I found the location in my news reader and changed the symbol to the tilde (~). See? ObDOSHack: I don't like the ANSI.SYS, which everyone here uses so they can set up colors, it's just too damn slow. I hacked all of my versions of command.com so that the screen attributes are bright white on blue (my favorites), then I wrote a program that changes that part of command.com so I can change the colors whenever I want. =Bob=
