Is V.2 about to become 'functionally stabilised' ( that means dropped for non-IBM'ers) ? 2. Are NCR tring to cut support overheads ? 3. How much will NCR pay you to forego the support you payed for of V.2 and use V.3 ?? Actually I , of course , see it as a once in a lifetime offer from the warm and generous NCR :-) !! Seriously I'd recommend anyone to go for V.3 especially if they want to network. -- Ian Spare , iT , Barker Lane , CHESTERFIELD , DERBYS , S40 1DY , GREAT BRITAIN E-mail : ian@ukpoit.uucp - VOICE : +44 246 214296 - FAX : +44 246 214353
