A periodic post in alt.msdos.batch with a reference _only_ to a 4DOS FAQ is ok with everyone in a.m.b. This has been discussed there and agreed upon. A reference to the comp.os.msdos.4dos would also be included and the follow up should also be set to comp.os.msdos.4dos. The 4DOS FAQ itself, would be best on a webpage. > It _is_ my own FAQ, BTW. No, it is not. You just copied the questions from Timo Salmi and substituted 4DOS answers - without even testing them. ....snipped > > > O> Just copying someone else's FAQ is a disservice.

I have only seen your plagiarized version which contains errors, and that was not posted here, but was instead posted to the wrong group! You are only giving 4DOS users a very bad name. -- MS-DOS 6.22, Windows for Workgroups 3.11, Netscape Communicator 4.08 If someone has to use a pointy-clicky interface with DOS, they probably shouldn't be using DOS at all. --- BBBS/NT v4.01 Flag-2 * Origin: Mach2 Systems (1:342/3) .
