Thanks for the tip, I will try it!!  I may still put the extra hard drive
and boot diskette, but it would be nice to have my loadlin back!!!!  I had
went to loadlin how to and copied the auto exec bat suggestions into my
autoexec file,and it was nice, just like loadlin, but much more adjustable
on the fly.  Or is it that I am more comfortable in dos mode from the years
of exp!

From me, I cannot go to dos real mode, as it is no longer allowed.  It seems
as though microsoft has designed this program to counter dual boot systems
and it is annoying me.  I am thinking of putting in an old 2gig hard drive
and booting off of a diskette to the other drive!
