    It disappoints me that I can't run Scrabble. If I could get the source, I could make sure it doesn't die in 2038 (when DOS programs will quit
    working).

    I thought that was when *nix programs will quit working??

    It may be but it's around that time that DOS doors will overflow also. I
    need to look up the years again.

    It may be but it's around that time that DOS doors will overflow also. I need to look up the years again.
