How could I persuade Windows to believe it is a >Windows application? ** Caveat emptor: This is a real shot in the dark (can anyone confirm?) The most recent ads for MathCad (BYTE) seem to indicate that it uses Win32s DLL's for 32-bit flat addressing etc. Win32 use a new executable format so it's quite possible that the network copy of Windows 3.1 doesn't have the DLL's necessary to load the executable; or even recognize it for that matter as a Windows application. You could try checking for DLL's that MathCad installed in the local Windows directory; you might have to copy them to the net Windows directory. Frankly, I'm not even sure if Win32s has been cleared for release yet. Rob K
