- What are you talking about? My srd works just fine with DOS. Sure, I
- had to write a PAL script for 4dos' help and hstory windows, but
- that's just a couple of autospeaks. In fact, I can put the code up
- on the archive at NDSUVM1 if any of you are that interested.

- If you could define 'wierd problems' it might help me figure out what
- you are complaniing about. I'm no big fan of PAL either. It took me
- a couple of months really working at it to get an understanding of
- what's going on in the language. Having good support from IBM helped
