Any thought been given to porting PUTR to
FreeBSD/Linux/Unix??? Was hoping
to use it but really don't want to install a dos partition on my Unix PC.
Other solutions out there?

As I recall it's pure x86 ASM code, porting it is likely to be rather difficult, which
isn't to say impossible. Will it run under stuff like WinXP? Err... I guess
it's kind of useless on such systems since you really need a 1.2MB 5 1/4" floppy,
and if a system is running WinXP, the odds are it doesn't have one.
