Thanks very much for the reply and offer(?) I'd be really glad to return to QLing albeit onna XP machine. I will be delighted to return to the wrangling necessary to get a DOS program to run in a DozyDosBox...... How can I acquire the programs I need?

Professional Astrologer runs fine and so do most of the DP programs if you don't use very deep pathnames. (just tested it on QPC 1 although It was a pain to find a machine to put it in ;-) For good measure I can send you also soQL-PPP to grab your email using QPC1 Turbo exists and it's in version 4.20 now and freeware as well ALl the best, Phoebus
