By that time, people will have had plenty of planning time. You already know how to support V3 and what the common problems are and there will not be very many 68k users so it should not require a lot of resources.This is the way that the Mainframe products handle obsolete technology support and it works well. -Chuck-__________________________________________________________________________ Chuck Rice
