I did a similar test and came to the conclusion that Pulse works just fine.
Just to be sure however, at the end of the year I'm going to make a copy of
my Pulse directory so in case anything weird happens I won't have lost years
of trade documentation. I'll continue to use Pulse however. The final blow
for Pulse will come when you switch to an OS that doesn't support Dos
programs (Windows 2000 ???).
