I believe you're wrong Mr.Bazyar. Check out recent issues of BYTE and Info
World. I believe both confirmed the existence of 16 bit code in W95.
Anyone comment on this?
BTW. There is no need to be so rude and snotty in your replies. Whatever
else you think of the people and their computers in all these groups they
are for the most part as intelligent as you or I. If you want to argue,
fine. Just argue on the merits and facts. Not with crude remarks.
Thanks and have a nice day.
