I don't know what your problem is, but I like DOS and I think it is
still a better OS than WIN whatever.
I also don't understand your anger.
I don't have to change my config.sys or autoexec.bat when I want to run
shredder, rebel9 or Wchess in x-mode or normal.
I have a menue and I can choose between different
startup-configurations.

What is your problem with Mchess7?
