Hi Jim, I had no idea that some of the old dos stuff was still available. I don't know much about computers, but I still have fond memories of some of the games that I used to have, all 3 of them. I really liked playing a game about a haunted house in a neighborhood, but I could never really do much. You entered the haunted house through a closet and you could die if you bit into the apple that had a razor blade in it. The other game that I liked was a game in which you were a Christmas elf. Do you know anything about either of them? I would really like to play them again.

I am totally self taught both on the computer and programming games. Did you know that you can still use the command prompt? And heck I still write and use batch files all the time. Almost all of the dos commands are still available at the command prompt. I did copy deltree over from an old version of dos, but other than that, it seems most commands are still there. You can find the command prompt under accessories or by typing cmd in the run box. Batch files that I want available everywhere I put in c:\windows. I have a short cut icon on my desk top to the command prompt and have it put the beep character in the dos prompt so that it beeps when it is done listing a folder or what ever it is done doing. At the command prompt you just type exit and press enter to go back to Windows. Have fun. BFN Jim The command prompt is our friend. j...@kitchensinc.net http://www.kitchensinc.net (440) 286-6920 Chardon Ohio USA --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.
