How True. It was pure heaven when I was successful in compiling a C program on a Z80/CP/M machine with only two 5 1/4" floppy drives and 64KB RAM.:). It was so much fun trying to save a few bytes in the assembly language program. Somehow, I feel that kind of challenge is missing now. I now feel like laughing at myself when I recollect the arguments that I used to make saying that Windows is nothing but a SHELL around DOS. I evny the current set of software artists who are able to make a PC do so much without all the grinding that we had to go through. ganesh kalmane
