Gratzi [sic] Adriano - but still beepless in Miami. - By the way - 3.55
was the last uncrippled version of III+ - it has native auto replace (as
opposed to the xpl work-arounds that flourished at the time). Someone
has suggested that the problem might be with the DOS that ships with
Windows (DOS 7?) - Is anyone running windows with a version of
command.com that allows for a Xy3+ error beep when running under
windows95 (not in MS-DOS mode)?
