Hi John!

>I think Ed needs to convince his clientele to upgrade the OS.

I agree. I just wanted to make the point that it isn't a dead black or white issue. It's a risk, but so is everything. Some things take time and some folks are resistent. I have a couple of Win 3.11 applets that were never supported on NT and quit being supported after 98. They are running on 2000 and XP because they are very simple, well-mannered applets. My intent was to say that it is possible, not in any way to suggest it is a good idea. Thanks for the opportunity to clarify.
