As far as the Windows compatibility, I have heard from a reliable source that version 4.2 for DOS and Windows will be ready in Q1 '93. I assume this means a version for DOS and a seperate Windows version. Also, this will apparently be the last release to support DOS, but all future releases will support Windows. Sorry if this is a little vague, but it's all I know right now. Chris S.
