It is copy protected, but there is no problem running it from a regular workbench. It puts up its own screen, but you can sink it below the WB screen in the normal way. >Do most of you try specifically to purchase software that multitasks? >Seems to me that's one way of telling manufacturers what we want. I try to, but don't always. If it doesn't multitask, that is the first thing I mention if someone askes what I think of the program. It would be nice if there were warning stickers on the boxes. -don perley perley@trub.crd.ge.com
