And it also says running something in Win2k. Isn't that right? I just point it 
because it's there. If you really wanted to talk about running 16bit DOS 
program on Linux with DOSEMU, you could have called your email "16bit DOS 
programs on DOSEMU?". That's much clear, I guess.

And a lot of people that is interested in Anime and Manga. What's your point?

Ahem. 

A Linux | GNU/Linux | FreeSoftware | OpenSource | comunity.

What about the baritone singers comunity of central carolina?  What about the 
'Canes Fans comunity? What about...?

There has to be a limit somewhere. My opinion is "Windows2k" is beyond the 
limit .

If you dig enough, nothing is offtopic.

What about the 'Canes? This is a sport played on ice. Penguins live on ice. A 
penguin is Linux mascot. See? it's not _that_ offtopic.

Then, please, put it in the subject and ask about it in the first place, not 
as a second thought.

Stop the presses! Please point what part of my message calls you names. And I 
did not use the silly '$' in the 'Microsoft' word.

And I gave you a valid answer. Microsft newsgroups (and TechNet) are the best 
places to find info on your question.

Restrain yourself. Drink less coffee. Go outside. Enjoy springtime. And use 
wisely  the information resources available to you. 


Salut,
