Hi Jim,

The last DOS version I've used was 2.0, but some of those sound familiar and I thought they were already in 2.0, but I may be getting confused with FPW2.6

>>>There's actually a 2.6a for DOS. We never actually upgraded to that one from the 2.6, as we weren't having any problems with 2.6. FPW2.6 was an entirely different animal, we definitely had to go to the 2.6a version there.

>>I have 2.6a for Windows too, but 2.5a was the last DOS version I had. I may need to find a source for picking up 2.6 for DOS (I have a potential client, nothing definite yet however).
