Hi Jerry,

Caps are very hard to read. (

Error Message: MS-DOS or 16-bit Windows-based program
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_m.htm#16bit

This installaton program will reinstall the missing or corrupt Windows XP
system files command.com, autoexec.nt and config.nt. The absence or
corruption of one or more of these files causes a "16 Bit Subsystem" error.

I don't know how old you are, but I'm no youngster either, and my
eyes are not what they used to be. Nevertheless, I do *not*
appreciate messages in all caps, and like most people here, will
bypass them entirely if they are more than a line or two.

If ordinary mixed-case text is difficult for you to read, there
is more than one way to make it easier (for example, make the
text larger) without making it all caps.

Most welcome, Jerry. As for the caps, I have to agree with Ken here. There
are other methods. However, hope all goes well for you from here (eyes
included). )

Rather than CAPS, you might try clicking in VIEW - Text size - Larger or
Largest - see what works best for you.
