I have never worked with DOSBOX and I'm not sure how it would run on this
machine.  I had more hoped that someone would be up to the challenge to
write this program for a true windows enviroment and that is why I asked.
Also I find that for some reason Alt=M does not work anymore I can no
longer pack messges or delete old messages.  I have to either manualy
DEL DEL DEL message by message or just go into the directory and wipe out
all the files.  This deletes everthing to where I may rather have been
able to delete say everyhing 30 days and older.  Some of my areas have
close to 2000 messges and that's a lot of button pushing!

I think Terminate with it own tosser and tagline program, (something like
the old Bluewave used to do), would be a great program.  And I'll bet there
would be some pretty good programers who might love a challenge like that.
