>Phil,

I also own QB4.5 and PDS7.1 and like Jeff Foy would like to to know the answers to his questions about processor requirements and the upgrade offer.  I would also like to know exactly what the environment looks like, is it all text based?  Since it is
Visual Basic for DOS does it have the same tooltypes and form creation environment?

How about just a press release or full feature list off the back of a box or 
something.

Thanks for any info,
-Al

Oh, I really don't care what the answers are just send me a copy today and let
me see for myself!  I'm sure it will be awsome.
