- I don't have NT and will wait until it's released, but I've been listening
- in on all of the (interesting) conversations here. I've overheard some
- discussion of console mode. Could someone give me a brief description of
- this console mode? Is it initiated much like a DOS session is initiated from
- Windows 3.1 or is it an option for booting, i.e. can you just boot up in
- console mode and later run the GUI if you wish. Is it a suitable environment
- for porting large FORTRAN character-based apps from systems like VAXes?
