Thank you. I had started working on something like that (having 5
machines to update), but you forestalled me.

Yes. This is mostly for testing XP problems on the office machine, and
possibly running Xy off my brother's Macs, if any of them have DOS/Win
emulators.

Simple, huh? ≪
Wow! I thought I knew batch language, but that's got a lot of stuff
that's new to me. Powerful, too. "Setlocal" triggers a "Bad command or
file name" under 9x (no problem when run from a kmd prompt though, so I
assume it's an NT call?), but otherwise it works as expected. Thanks again.
OT: Anyone know anything about Python? A whole setup of it got dumped on
my c: drive when I installed a demo. Is it useful? Safe? Worth
investigating (given that I don't have time to breathe as it is)?
