Hi Dick, As far as I know this will find the current version of Lady Heather, it works fine under XP on a P4 using a native serial port and, as per comment earlier, also under Win7 on a dual core laptop with a USB to serial converter........ http://www.ke5fx.com/heather/readme.htm I wonder if you problem on the 486 laptop was a display resolution issue? I swore by XP for years and still use it, hated Vista and first thought Win7 was just as bad, but soon learned otherwise. No operating system is perfect, no Microsoft operating system particularly so, but Win7 is pretty good, despite my earlier comments:-), and my preferred Windows system right now as long as the machine is up to it. Not sure I'd want to run it on a 486 laptop though, on the older laptops and luggable I use for equipment interfacing, even those using pentiums, if running Windows I tend to stick with Win98SE, or sometimes Win2K.

I guess I'll forgo the "pleasures" of WIN7 and stick with my XP Laptop. Maybe some day it will different. BTW, I tried a "Beta" version of Lady Heather, when I try to expand to full screen, the program aborts. This is on a 486 Laptop I have. Is there a working version somewhere ??
