>Hi Fred & Bonnie: In addition to what the others have stated, I have found 2.6a to be much more memory stable than any previous version. Specifically, when I joined WFB three years ago, they were still using 2.5 (no suffix), and started having lots of index corruption, and internal consistency errors (un-recoverable), among other things. One of the things I did was to get them upgraded to 2.6a, and the errors dropped to nil. Since 2.6a is the last DOS version, I highly recommend making that the version for your client (and yourself). In addition to the auction sites, there is a 'downgrade' option available directly from M$ -- someone has posted the URL here recently, but I don't have it handy.

Hi Rob,

2.0 was pretty stable too, except for the memory problems/incompatiblities with not being able to run with expanded memory under Windows 3.x. I still have legacy systems that I wrote in 2.0 that I just have not bothered to upgrade ... I'm still selling them as they are and they still work fine, so why bother? I may get around to it if I get 2.6a though .... maybe < g >

See you at the Thursday ADD meeting ... I decided to finally join!

Bonnie
