I am running DOS6 and it's own compression software (DblSpace) without any
crashes from go32 or anything else for a week now.  It's my first experience
with real-time hard drive compression and has been a very good one so far.
I never had the nerve to compress my drive before, but trying out a bunch of
emacs ports has pushed me to it. :)

BTW, I still intend to post a nice summary of emacs/tex/xdvi ports to MSDOS
and MSDOS/DVX.  I appreciate anyone who responded to my post and encourage
others too.  School work has gotten heavy and it will still be a while
before I can post my results.

Also, have ports to DVX using go32 been regularly echoed to qdeck.com as well
as omnigate and math?
