sigh... i try to help some ppl, and then mess up others. anyway, i wouldn't recommend win2k. just turn off themes in winxp and disable some services and it's the same without 2k's rough edges. in any case, you should find ram from another old pc. ram is what makes old pcs useable. right now i'm on a tablet pc with a piii 933 and 512mb. its running an nlite'd (modified) copy of win2k3. works very well, especially with the swap file turned off.

p.s., i'm still working on the gui version. this will also have good batch support and adjustable overlap. don't hold your breath, though.
