Hi Allen, with "pure DOS" I mean booting the computer under DOS (e.g. Ver.6.22 or so), and not starting it within a DOS command prompt under Windows. Yes, there are still DOS users (like me)! I don´t see any need to boot with Windows when I want to use DOS programs, and I have a lot of them. Also I have a boot menu to select starting DOS or Windows, whatever I just need. Therefore I would like also a DOS version of ´Chest´ which runs without Windows. Regards, Franz.
