I used "X Appeal" for DOS a long time ago, it may run under FreeDOS also - http://www.xtreme.it/xappeal.html "X Appeal" is based on XFree86, but it is proprietary software. There is a trial version available. HTH, Rob Helmer On Sun, Sep 01, 2002 at 12:48:58PM +0300, Luigi Bardelli wrote: > Dear all, > thank you for your replies.
