I have the answer to reducing evaporation

I actually run a lot of my own programs (doing speech, data collection and
data analysis) and use many berkeley Unix DOS utilities in DOS . Windows
Excel has served as a nice replacement for many Unix command line programs
that DOS never was able to do. I was never able to beat Unix into doing the
RealTime processes that I had to be able to do (I have to play auditory
files one sample point at a time).

I went to the BSD site after you mentioned it and I'm now trying to figure
out how to incorporate it into our lab. The Berkeley Dos Unix utilities are
nice but they just don't quite cut it. At this point I find that each OS has
something to offer that the others don't (though I am now running real time
data collection in WinNT with a windows app I was able to put together with
BuilderCPP and CDX - In which case Windows is the only OS that will do
everything I need - I just feel loyal to Unix) DK

I love Unix and have since 1970. Linux isn't there yet (NeXT was! and
was
10 years ahead of its time). DK

Have you checked the *BSD branch of UNIX yet?

Roll your own? G Probably faster than paging through all the ports
and packages availible in Linux and BSD.

There's several minor OS's around loosly based on UNIX, and at least
one of them claims to be "The ONLY realtime OS made". Paid no
attention as I have not the foggiest idea what that was all about.
Might be a waste of time trying to chase them down to check out, but I
really doubt the latest virus is going to do anything to them (which
is why I was looking at them). Drivers, though...

(shrug) Windows works just fine for me, as long as I keep it away from
the net and run mantanance on it now and then. LOL, good luck on
killing the net connection.

"Ponding" is your "Zen Garden"? Makes sense. I lurk for pointers on a
small agriculture pond, not that I have one or am likely to actually
build one.

Ugh, work calls in a shrill and unpleasent voice.
