I enjoyed reading your informative article on Chicago (March News & Views). The article mentions Eicon Technology's NABIOS redirector as an example of the kinds of services that will perpetuate DOS dependencies in Chicago. While this is true today, Eicon has recognized the limitations of TSRs in the Windows environment. We have developed a DLL version of the NABIOS redirector (named ECLAN) and will include it in all new products. Users of our Windows applications will no longer need to load TSRs to access the InterConnect Server family.

theoretical--and no language better exemplifies this than C++.
