Actually, I have a whole pile of coasters that used to be useful windows install CDs -- Photoshop, Exceed, and a ton of games. Many apps that were developed for the non-NT systems (win98, winME) won't even install, let alone run, on winNT, 2k, and XP. With OSS, at least I can grab the source code and attempt to build a custom version for my system. In the Windows world, I'm stuck. -- monique -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
