However, I also understand that for most programs converting to protected mode compatibility won't be much of a problem. As for your specific application, may I suggest a rewrite? Even if it runs under Win3, it won't be a very attractive product if it doesn't take advantage of the protected mode. Users get a little miffed when they've shelled out considerable bucks for a memory upgrade and their software doesn't take advantage of it. -- Rick (schaut@garfield.cs.wisc.edu) "Your degree in Economics is not necessarily an aide to finding gainfull emplyoment, but at least it helps you understand why you're unemployed" --Samuel Bates
