Walter:
Thanks for this information. It seems that I should consider installing
WIN2000 first, and then install the other 2000 programs that I use. Is
Metastock 6.5x compatible with Win2000?
No need to apologize, you write clearly enough, its just that I am klutzy
around a computer. I sometimes need instructions that are like the old
Colonial recipe for roast turkey: first you clean and load your rifle,
next you go out and shoot a turkey.......etc.
Gail, my smarter half, says that you can download a Word viewer from the
Microsoft site.
Regards
Lionel
