Since I am going to be moving our product to OS/2 (hence no need for Turbo C) I am going to "borrow" the upgrade coupon for home... -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Steve Resnick - 408/241-1533 Process Scientific, Inc. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
