Re: Win 95 Console Stuff...


You want me to give MORE money to MS,
when they haven't even paid for all the 
aggravation they caused me with this
95 piece of junk NO WAY!!! 
(and the win3.0, win3.1, win3.11, and dos junk)

The only reason I'm working on this stuff in
the first place is to try and keep them from
getting money from my brother programmers, and I
for vc++ which SHOULD be provided with the OS.
