So let's keep his > changes. Well, I can't understand the reasoning. If I was Eli, it would leave a very bitter taste in my mouth. Maybe because we don't see one another, there is sometimes scant regard for the feelings of others on this list, and I'm sure this loses developers. If the logical thing to do is remove MULTI_KBOARD, and therefore the MSDOS port, I'm sure that after discussion Eli would see that. The outcome may well be the same but it would be reached in a much more agreeable manner. -- Nick http://www.inet.net.nz/~nickrob
