Some seemed to think it was slower, many felt it was not much different, one even thought it faster! The concensus was thart even if slower, the new features - tables, equations etc - all made it well worth while. Having said that, it must be kept in mind that in all likelihood all of these test sites would have been using fast (286/386) based systems so that the comments regarding the slower machines may well be valid. --------- Trevor Cradduck University of Western Ontario, London, Canada ---------
