Arnon

This is why 'we' are waiting with baited breath for Win/NT 4.0! I have 3.51 but cannot go back to the old interface (yeech!). I have already upgraded my PC to 32 Meg of Ram (BTW, memory is very cheap right now! Wholesale is about $12.50/Meg).

Well at least the memory model is 32 bit. Yes, I love looking at API functions and then look at 'Notes' & deciphering the platforms the function will work on -- Uggh...

I must admit that I (and some others) use the 16 bit API calls mainly cause it is so much easier to use. So my apps are not true 32 bit also, but you will never see it. It is the Win32s that I stay clear of if possible.
