There are a few Mac programs that I use that simply don't like 32-bit mode (VersaTerm 3.0.2 being one of the worst offenders) and it's a pain thinking "Will I be running VT-Pro in this session" and if the answer is yet, going mac24 but if it's "no" then I type mac32 and 9 times outta 10 I gotta run one of those programs anyway and... Crash! Will I be giving up a LOT if I just use 24-bit mode as my default? Any speed differences? I've yet to run across a program that doesn't like CS24 (except for the obvious ones, like SCSI stuff, etc...) but a few HATE CS(32). E-mail responses are fine... I'll post a summary to the net. -- ======================================================================= #include =:^) Jim Jagielski NASA/GSFC, Code 711.1 jim@jagubox.gsfc.nasa.gov Greenbelt, MD 20771 "Kilimanjaro is a pretty tricky climb.
