After a few weeks using DOS (even with bash and all the GNU tools it still sucks) I am now in quite a blissful state. I grabbed siocons for Unix and it works, but not well. You can't quit by using ESC apparently, you have to use '~' to get a local prompt and type 'quit'. Of those of you who have also seen the light and are using a Unix equivalent, is this true for you, or is it my window manager screwing me around, or something? I also noticed that when you do a 'siocons auto', it'll work fine, except when you're done, if you try to get the local prompt and quit, it freezes. I found I had to kill the process from elsewhere. Instead, if I plain 'siocons' then hit '~' and type 'auto auto' it loads the auto batch file ok, and also lets me quit afterwards. Little bit of a drag compared to 'siocons auto' though. While I'm at it, I noticed the hss-utils and 'psxfer'. I assume this is similar to siocons, though the docs are in Japanese and I'm yet to try and work the bastard out. Any tips? Thanks, Toby. PS. I'm seriously considering learning Kanji. There are so many web pages and Japanese games out there that I would like to be able to use!
