Sometimes while reading your email, and following links like this
one;
http://www3.sympatico.ca/rhwatson/dos7/u-debug.html
"Debug is a byte editor that enables files to be viewed and
modified at the byte level. It is generally recommended that this
utility is not used by the faint of heart or when under the
influence of drugs or alcohol. There is no "undo" command, so make
a backup before playing, eh?"
You can obtain more information that you did not know was there.
Shorten the link to this;
http://www3.sympatico.ca/rhwatson/dos7/
and you will find the page which the original came from.
"Syntax and use of the commands available with the Windows95
version of MS Dos."
DOS is still used in Win 98, and ME.
You gan get to the DOS comand by restarting the computer in MSDOS
mode.
Or by restarting the computer with a Win. 98 boot disk.
This is my favorite BootDisk;

~~~
Most web pages which have / after the page name indicate that
there are other pages.
Do some experimenting you never know where you will end up, or
what you will find.

home
desktop PC.

3B Personal Firewall Pro (new product )
http://www.3bsoftware.com/products/firewall.html
Personal Firewall Pro delivers bulletproof intrusion detection and
protection to your PC. It scans your DSL, cable, or dial-up
Internet connection looking for hacker activity, much like
antivirus programs scan your hard disk. Personal Firewall Pro will
not slow down your PC or your Internet experience.
Personal Firewall Pro Automatically installs standard default
features for ready to run protection.
Some of the features includes:
Provides you with the ability to block access to particular
computers, local ports, and remote ports.
3B Web Watch? with IntelliBlock? Integration provides you with
the options to block unsolicited content such as popup
advertisements.
Lock & Leave will lock your computer from other users of a single
computer.
Will Personal Firewall Pro make my computer safer?
Yes! Traditional firewalls let you block TCP/IP and NETBIOS ports,
and that's a good start.
Personal Firewall does this and much more.
Personal Firewall Pro stops hacker attacks as they occur. Personal
Firewall Pro monitors Internet communications, looking for
patterns of communications that are typical of a hacker attack.
For example, if a computer tries to connect to a series of ports
on your computer, Intrusion Protection recognizes it as a port
scan, which is a common method of finding weaknesses to attack.
It also detects attempts to connect to ports used by remote-access
Trojan horse programs and local software.

TriDComm - 3D Commander
http://tridcomm.com/
Win9x / ME / NT4 / 2k and a decent PC and/or a 3D accelerator
card for acceptable performance.
Freeware
This tool has a pair of Norton-Commander-style listing windows
where all of the ususal file and directory folder icons are
rendered as three dimensional objects. This supports the usual
file manager controls and ZIP file handling. It uses the mouse
along with the Ctrl and Alt keys to navigate around in the 3D
space. You can make your own 3D icons by using Anim8or from
www.anim8or.com. You can also traceroute and ping in 3D.
~~~~~~~
Going Back
If you're navigating through folders and you want to jump quickly
to the level just above the current one, remember that you can
always use your Backspace key. Just press it to correspond to the
Back button and
move up a level.

Antivirus software is a good choice to scan your system for
possible
viruses, however no virus scanner is 100% effective as
manufactures
cannot keep up with the rapid change of viruses that happens
daily.
Be sure to update yours regularly.
