hi Mark,

 From what I've read, jemm385.ese requires and additional program to 
make it work, whereas, jemmex.exe includes the required program.

Well, I used to have various flavours of DOS beginning with 3.0 right 
uipt to 6.22, but over the years they have been tossed. I did have 
6.22 on a floppy, but can't find. Having dos on a floppy presents 
another problem. No floppy drive on the ThinkPad A30p, unless I 
spring for a superdrive for around $150. It shouldn't be this 
difficult to get a dos program running in this day and age on a 
laptop. I'm trying to purchase a desktop box with serial and parallel 
ports and DOS os, floppy drive locally. If not, no other choice but 
to mograte to TR4W.

Thanks for your input.

Paul
