[ale] Re: [ale-expo] other demos (fwd)

Hey guys, if I wanted the Microsoft crap, I'd s*bscribe to a Microsoft
list.  A diversion now and then regarding Windows and/or dos and how they
may work with Linux is one thing.  This blasted Linux vs Microsoft crap
is a waste of bandwidth on this list.  I have my own opinions regarding
the subject, but I try and place them in the forum the belong.  Can we
get on with the real purpose of this list?  I would be glad to s*bscribe to
a Linux vs Microsoft list if anyone wants to start one.

}I apologize. I wrongly assumed everyone reading this list knew the following,
}and so made my previous post on this subject more concise than I should have.
}        There are NUMEROUS third-party packages that allow remote control of
}        DOS or Windows machines. People condemn Microsoft for feebleness if
}        they don't integrate a feature into the OS and then they condemn it
}        for megalomania when they do; what's a company to do? By the way, free
}        tools (made available in 1993) for WfW 3.11 let it support sockets and
}        networked DDE, Win95 adds RPC and NT 4.0 will add networked OLE.

}Thanks David! :-)
