[TriLUG] OT: legacy 16bit DOS programs on Win2k

[Jim Ray]

You just answered my next question to codeweavers about macromedia
support.  In 8 minutes, I'll have the set of 6 iso images for shrike
complements of ga tech.  Go yellow jackets.

I figure the 3 iso images with i386 are the ones I need for
installation.  I duno what the SRMPS set does.  RPM source?  Who knows.

Help on the way.  I'm not installing on a real server, just a sears
server.
