Thanks Chris,

Well, the windows version is the same version that they have, just a little change in the user interface, but still character based... I guess that's and advantage as no retraining is required :)...

Some clients are starting to use XP and that IS is causing problems in our Windows version as it has mail merging using Word and something has changed in Office XP... but that's my next problem, now I just need to concoct something palatable, convincing and forceful to send to the DOS and UNIX guys.
