Well, my complaint is not that they are not downloading cbm4win. They
do, but there are no reports here.

No, cbm4win is just a device driver for accessing the drives. No GUI
(yet - other want to take on this).
cbm4dos would make some sense. Anyway, as you have full access to the
hardware on DOS, I doubt it would be accepted there. On DOS, it is no
problem to integrate the drive access into the application, the way SC
does it already.
Anyway, as I wrote in the first mail, there are plans to make SC run on
NT/2000/XP with the help of cbm4win. Anyone who has read about the
NT-based problems knows that this is not trivial.
Regards,
Spiro.
