There is nothing private about it. It is pretty much as it was installed, except I used my LCSS (Logical Config.Sys Sort, available from HOBBES) utility on it. There are a few tweaks, but none of them would affect shutdown. Sorting *may* affect something (but I doubt it). >in the meantime my aos503 VM with 2 cores is very very very stable ;) As I said, if it does what you want it to do, use it the way it is. >massimo CONFIG.SYS not sent.
