[GNUz] Linux is not the only OS ...

[Wesley Parish]

I've tested OpenWatcom 1.3 with FreeDOS and can verify that it works.  As does 
BWBASIC.  these's an interesting PL/? language from Intel, PL/M286 that I 
intend checking out as well - once I get around to borrowing it from the 
Public Library.

And I suppose I can always fool around with stuff like dBASE III - I'm not 
quite sure which one my copy is - Plus or minus?  And Twin (the spreadsheet), 
and VP-Planner, etc - if I still have my copy of it from the early 
nineties. ;)

Clinersterton beademung, with all of love - RIP James Blish

Mau e ki, he aha te mea nui?
You ask, what is the most important thing?
Maku e ki, he tangata, he tangata, he tangata.
I reply, it is people, it is people, it is people.
