The Amiga OS has been 32-bit clean for twice that long. MacOS has been 32 bit clean longer than that. System 7 is going on 5 years, perhaps that was what the poster was thinking about. BTW - The original Amiga didn't care about the upper 8 bits. And not all the programs were 32 bit clean (since the processor stripped the top 8 bits) -- Tom Gooding tgooding@iastate.edu Computer Engineering 4
