I didn't announce his name originally because I hadn't asked him whether or not he wanted to remain anonymous, but since he doesn't mind, I'm taking this time to publicly thank him. After weighing all the considerations, we'll be buying a new disk to install Windows NT on so that we can test E/D under Windows NT and also find and fix the problem with networked mounted filesystems.

We certainly plan on a native Windows '95 version. Greg> Just a thought... Greg> Greg M. --Cliff ctm@ardi.com
