Hello Lars,

if so, I have a hole in my brain.
I have the TascBase 2.1 but unfortunately no more installations. See it for days
I install DOS programs on my Pentium III 550 MHz system.

Interesting information, never see this opion in Tasc-Base but for years I have
no interest on FRC and you know that the most users used only maximal 10% from
the available options in such bigger developments, like TascBase.

Hope Reinhard Scharnagl read it too.
I am sure Reinhard don't have this information too!

Best
Frank
