That's ok, I didn't think you were being antagonistic, it's a reasonable
question.

Well, I think some people might want to use a DOS box for compatibility with
DOS programs, the ones that use int 0x10 or access the 'hardware' for
console I/O. Anyway, even if that's not an issue for most people, people
might as well have a choice.

Would including XKEYB in the distribution be an option? It seems like a
simple way to allow people to work around a number of problems with
KEYB.COM.
