   Hej Benny!   
      
   > not even freedos is tryed ?   
      
   Not long enough to be called 'tried'.  If I remember correctly it was run   
   under dosemu on a 486 running the latest slackware.  freedos came far too late   
   and was still 16-bit, which pretty well sealed it's fate to the realm of   
   'doomed'.  The only serious competition to slackware back then was freebsd.

   I never saw one.  I seriously doubt I missed anything.   
      
   > all basic roms on commodore computers is not even basic portable   
      
   Something else I never had anything to do with.  I had experience with basic   
   but beyond the last DOS box it never stood a chance.  The first gcc compiler I   
   learned c on was a sparc station running solaris.  It lacked a 'linux'   
   terminal but given that was long before linux existed it was my only contact   
   with c coding.  Before that it was f77 on vax/vms that was all the rage.  Them   
   were the days.  :::sigh:::   
      
   Speaking of retro, I see gcc has a new cobol front end.  Weird.  Now THAT is   
   taking backwards compatibilty far beyond anything I've seen thus far ... or   
   care to see for that matter.   
      
   > 6.15.4 here   
      
   Me too except the EuroPoint has yet to catch up.  I plan on upgrading it once   
   I have a better handle on the latest and (hopefully) greatest linux-gnu.  I   
   can't say I am happy with the latest python dependency.  :::shudder:::  I am   
   blaming debian for this current sad state of affairs.  From day one I never   
   thought much of debian ... or redhat for that matter.   
      
   Progress?  I am starting to have doubts.
