DOS is dead; long live DOS :-)

Yes, as of today DR-DOS is available at

ftp://ftp.lineo.com/pub/drdos/DR-DOS.703/dr703.exe

(self-extracting archive). As Drew said, DeskNCrt didn't like it (my
finding also), but CNC Pro ran fine.

I'm running Win98SE booted to the command line now, though (it is a
dedicated machine controller), so I can fire up the GUI (type "win" at the
command prompt, just like the old days!) and sneakernet gcode from my CAD
computer using a USB flash card reader. If I could find a USB driver for
DOS that didn't cost an arm and a leg, I'd still be using DR-DOS on the
machine controller...

Best regards,

Randy
