I hadn't spotted that requirement. Although I use it to be honest I haven't tried it on any really old hardware/low spec machines etc.

Interesting. Out of curiosity what is it that you are interested in testing? And why? I ask because I have written various old and new code which detects all sorts of text IO, e.g. is an ANSI.SYS compatible driver installed etc as part of a massive BBS door unit I wrote back in the 90's. I'm slowly working to unifying all sorts of code into RJDOS but in a modula way. That project remains my focus (and will do) and as I want RJDOS to be a shell which allows us to dig into a PC's setup to a certain extent I'm always interested in hearing of requirements. I'm not planning to add speed testing code though.
