B20 was da bomb! I realize this is sacrilege, but...somewhere in my archives I have an old copy of full.exe from B20.1 (as well as the ancient cygutils add-on packages; while the webpages for B20-era cygutils still exist at http://cygutils.fruitbat.org/OBSOLETE/B20/index.html, the tarballs do not. I still have 'em somewhere...) I ought to install it on XP or Vista and see just how awful it really is, compared to modern versions. [/bad sacrilegious Chuck.

No cookie!] Wasn't B20 auto-adaptable to new versions of Windows? I suspect that, if you just let it sit for a while, it will probably figure out how to run on XP or Vista. cgf ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread
