  Indeed I would tell them if they would listen to
me.  As it is, I have 
 Just talk louder and be more persistent; they'll reach a point where
 they'll either listen or fire you; it the later, no great loss since
 it doesn't sound like they're worth working for.

  agreed to follow their rules, and will have to do
that until they make
 more sane rules. 
 Why?

  In other words, when I took their job, I gave
them
 my word. 
 You gave them your word that you'd act like a good little obedient
 dimwit?  Why would anyone promise to do that?  I suggest that you
 run emacs and invoke doctor ("M-x doctor") to get some help. ;-)

  I don't believe I can count on them to fix
these problems
 on my account.  After all, they don't impair my work -- all of our
 clients use this junk too.  (Sad, but what can you do about it?) 
 One can always refuse to work with that Micro$oft rubbish. Perhaps you
 could educate your employer's clients; tell them all about the big
 mistakes that they're making by wanting to use that Micro$oft
 virusware which is broken, and otherwise annoying, by design.  Don't
 mince words, tell it like it is, and tell them that no reasonably
 intelligent computer hacker would work with that rubbish unless it was
 as part of a project to change over to a UNIX system, or VMS, or even
 CP/M... that is, changing over to a system that doesn't destroy data
 and do other peculiar things with files.  Ask them why they like
 operating systems that molest data... someone needs to make an "Eddy
 Electron" like film, that's Monty Pythonish, called "Pfe$ter, the
 Micro $oft Mole$ter," showing him doing strange things with bits of
 data as they flow through the computer.
