After raining all night it stops at around 7h00 but the day remains grey with low clouds. How low? Well starting at 0m (divide by 3 to get it in feet).

One of the files I made for V7.09 has to be changed. Easy but tedious job. How do you liven up a tedious job? Simply add some extra functionality (which is never asked and which has no impact on the users) that may make the program more interesting and easier to reuse. Bright idea.
Of course this meddling breaks the program in interesting ways.

And another file has to be prepared for use in TeleSales which means all the fields must renamed

 

I just tried to install X windows on Stone. Everything seems to install normal but when I start X windows the mouse dies. It is not hardware because under Win, on the same box it works.

Stone ?? That is my old 386/40 full tower box with a giant 200MB disk and 8 MB of RAM.
X-windows?? Well, sort of. I am running DR DOS-6 on it, with Win3.1 installed and now I installed Quarterdeck DESQview/X. When I originally installed that, in 1992, it worked. The only thing that has changed and that could have an influence is that I am now using a switch box to connect my mouse/keyboard and screen. I am going to try it without that switch.
The main reason I keep that box is sentimental, it was the first computer I owned. I don't actually use it much but I have to switch it on about once a month to prevent the hard disk from 'sticking'.

Adios
