gad..I remember loading punch cards in a sorter back in the 80s...;) I learned enough programming (Cobol, RPG II [the language, not the rocket launcher..;], Assembler) to learn I never want to be a programmer..;) All it's given me is lost hours of my life, and rotten spelling (ask an old programmer about spelling sometimes..;)

I'd have to check my notes (been studying about 5 different OS's at work, so I get confused, as they say in Sin City..;), but I seem to remember 64-bit OS's don't work with 16 bit code.

I have Win 2k on my machine, works like a champ, so far..;) Can't use my old games (Duke Nukem 3, Descent 1&2, Heretic, etc), but on the other hand, I can't load the latest version of Daz Studio (missing C++ files, dlls, etc, but I hardly expect any sympathy in this forum..;) So it looks like I'm in the middle.

I'll have to upgrade eventually (my system's about 3 years old), but I'll wait until the last possible moment..;)

I wish I'd said that.. The Staircase Wit
