I think it is a big mistake for the tech support to be discontinued. so rather than complain and do nothing, I started a list. hope it helps and is appreciated. see full details below. List Name: JFD Category: Computers | Utilities Description: This list is to discuss Jaws for Dos (JFD) issues. since Henter-Joyce (HJ) is not providing Tech Support, we need a way to get answers to questions about JFD. I started this list because I have never really used JFD and wanted to use many of the old programs that I don't have the money to replace with comparable windows products. and there are also people who get used systems and want to use JFD to gain access to their system. lastly the most important reason is that my instructer has said that many buisnesses use DOS for some systems and why should we limit ourselves on possible jobs because their equipment is too old. to subscribe to the list by email, send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To send email to the list, use the email address [EMAIL PROTECTED] subscription url http://www.onelist.com/subscribe.cgi/JFD Also, there is a button that you can use on your web site for the subscription link.
