With no problems. As a better answer: CPS has been a beta test site for DOS 5 and made use of it to make sure that PCT 7 will be completely compatible. In terms of graphics, PCT 7 was designed to have a "Windows look and feel" which is great if you like Windows graphics. You can specify NOT to use the graphic fonts, however, which make it looke more like v6. taimi ames@reed.edu
