   Hi! Bj÷rn,   
      
   In a msg of Wed, 24 Oct 12, I wrote to you:   
      
    BF>>    If you have 6.22 with CD-ROM support, this might be something   
    BF>> for you -- it even have IE5 and good old Rodent's Revenge.     
      
   Oooh, a game even!  (I didn't get that far at all but I ran-up the RR help   
   file, just to see what it was...)

   Well, I didn't get very far.  After I got used to fumbling around in DOS   
   again, I arranged a HD to boot from (I already had a HDD with MS-DOS   
   6.22+Norton Commander v4.00[Irish locale with a terminal emulation addon]).    
   Then, I ran the WFWG setup from floppy image #1.   
      
   Setup.exe ran fine and seemed to do all that was required, in double-quick   
   time due to processor speed, however it choked on disk #2 (just as I had   
   remembered from my real floppies).  (Floppy disk swapping in the virtual drive   
   was smooth, Benny.)   
      
   Oh well, back to 'plan A'.  No harm, no foul.  I very rarely use it or the DOS   
   7.01 vBox.   
      
   Thanks again.  It was 'interesting' for 45 minutes.   
      
   On to another adventure with a new Xubuntu 12.04.1 LTS vBox, soon.  :)   
                                                   ^^   
                               (The 'quarter' fix I think it's called.)   
      
   Cheers,   
   Paul.
