    Any one fancy this contract...

    http://www.jobserve.com/W5B1E615C21D83522.job

    I'm not sure I could handle the editing of config.sys and autoexec.bat, and as for debugging Q-Basic.......

    "The main role will be to bug fix the q-basic and DOS programming as this was written by the current Director to a very low standard."

    I wonder if they're quoting said Director, or if one of his/her minions is about to start looking for a job

      Looks more likely that the Director will be looking for a new job soon

        I would do it, just not prepared to more than halve my rate.

          I wonder if the start date is meant to be 19/11/1997?

                autoexec.bat & config.sys no problem ... can't recall doing anything with IO.sys though

                  What? I have just cleared out a load of old technical books including two or three on DOS and one on Q Basic. Don't say they're coming back into fashion now?

                    To sell the role even more, it is located in that most vibrant and happening county - Suffolk.
