So for Ed, >DOS probably _is_ more convenient. Excellent statement, no surprise it comes from a programmer, you are aren't you? I know many engine programmers still use DOS as their main development platform for reasons you pointed out. Also all my analysis tools are DOS based, moving exclusive to the Windows platform I would lose all of them. The last months I have moved the thing to 3 interfaces 1) my own private DOS-text-based interface, DOS Crafty alike for development purposes 2) the graphical downloadable DOS version and 3) the Lokasoft interface. So contrary to Harald's judgement I am ready for the future :) Ed
