 support for JFD

I think it is a big mistake for the tech support to be discontinued. so
rather than complain and do nothing, I started a list. hope it helps and
is appreciated. see full details below.

List Name:  JFD  
Category:  Computers | Utilities  
Description:  This list is to discuss Jaws for Dos (JFD) issues. since
Henter-Joyce (HJ) is not providing Tech Support, we need a way to get
answers to questions about JFD. I started this list because I have never
really used JFD and wanted to use many of the old programs that I don't
have the money to replace with comparable windows products. and there are
also people who get used systems and want to use JFD to gain access to
their system. lastly the most important reason is that my instructer has
said that many buisnesses use DOS for some systems and why should we
limit ourselves on possible jobs because their equipment is too old.
