And people dream about backward-compatibility with DOS?! <grim laugh>

Well, if it can't write, it's not much use, is it? Except, of course, for
blatantly bypassing security (dare I assume these drivers are not endorsed
by MS)?

Anyway, only the need for a large partition drove me to Win98. Any
additional benefits are over 95 negligible. I'm not quite sure what would
prompt me to get Win2000 before software compatibility becomes a problem. So
I could probably use POVDOS for yet a few years. Unless I decide to get
Linux. And I probably will.
