Jamie, I've been perusing my April `88 copy of CADalyst with unusual interest, since reading the `Blips on the CRT' column written by David Cohn. In it he implies that he is privy to info that suggests MS-DOS is not long for the ADESK camp once Release 10 hits the streets. While this is no shining revelation, the 640K barrier being an obvious limitation, I would solicit your comments on his comments. While the company line may be a tight-lipped response, forewarned is forearmed, and I for one would like such a change over to be as painless as possible. Maybe Cohn is just blowing smoke, either way I don't want to be treated like a mushroom. If you don't keep us in the dark, and Cohn isn't feeding us any crap, then changes be a comin'. If this is the case my friend, is there any way to find out what the new operating system is going to be so I can bone up on it? `Igots ta know man, I just gots ta know'. Was that the sound of a can of worms being opened? Thanx, Dennis
