 Well Michael, suprise, I wasn't even able to get Desktop or Shell to
 run under the New PC-Cache.  I kept getting lock-up when I tried to
 hot key to them.  I finally replaced the 5.0 Version, with my old
 4.22 PC-Cache and everything worked well.  I'm also running a
 Turbo XT Clone with 2 Megs of Extra Memory, I run most of the New
 PC-Tools system in Extended, and I love it.  Hopefully they will fix
 cache 5.0, otherwise I'm running with no problems with my older
 verison.
