Hi Mike,
I think Ekki, DF4OR, has received enough positive feedback to move forward
on doing just what you describe. I like the elegant simplicity and
stability of DOS programs for most of my contesting - plus I can run old
laptops no one else wants. Lets cross our fingers that Ekki's updated
compiler does the trick with the glitches WF1B has with faster PCs, too!
73,
