 		 #147737 - good idea - if ...
Responding to: ???'s previous message
I don't trust Windows ... That's why I use DOS. In this case, MSDOS6.22.

Good idea - if anything has to be synchronous, Windows do things "when it gets around to it".

If synchronicity is not required, I think you can 'trust' Windows in this respect. I have never seen lost characters on a printer or lost bits from a scanner.
