Hello Chris, I have found a sweetheart software in the pile of MS-DOS downloads, I am glad you asked. Dp26 is a nice database program which will give you a drop down menu for each panel. That beats squinting at thumbnails, testing postman routes (which I hate the most), or just plain trying to retrace your steps through mongo or mySQL. You can launch your database dropdown too as DOSbox itself is allegedly scriptable, which I have not tested yet. Presently I have completely locked myself out and am in the process of regaining control of my system; but now I've stopped. In /var/log/messages I found someone reserving IP addresses and moving directories. It is a terrible mess. Many sources say my permissions and /etc/shadow are correct. My new user accessed the bash shell. But that is when I found further evidence. I can't say I trust my installation at this point. About MS-DOS, would you agree there is something to say for entertainment? Windows203 works just fine (windows3.1 does not), soundblaster emulation is fine, wide-screen full-screen is beautiful, Doom-era games are heart stopping, pixelization is somehow minimized, it offers borlands TurboC, and can be configured to emulate various machines, drives, and clock speeds; on the very low end of entertainment (as I suggest you really should build launcher button dp26 databases for your pdf's, images, videos, etc...) DOSbox audibly looks for a dial tone (duh) and occupies a single core completely. On the dp26 side of things: what is really so nice about this 2004 software is that in requiring indexed unique fields it will allow non-unique fields! Now back to lynching my way up to burning a new live disc, as my live discs have vanished. Jonathan Engwall
