   that's strange... i've not seen that on eCS or Warp but i have seen binkd and   
   allfix tie each other up... that was with the EMX flavor of binkd, IIRC... i   
   switched to another native compiled flavor of binkd and don't have those   
   problems any more... the problem was exhibited as a freeze in both programs...   
   if i exited one, the other one resumed processing...

    RW> works just fine.   
      
   every once in a while, i'll fire up the native FD/2 and let it run for a   
   while... it still loads my DOS RA in similar fashion as the DOS FD does but the   
    script flow is a little different... but i'm not one to do things the normal   
   way anyway... eg: i process dobbs.bat and dobbs.cmd as a data file ;)
