Dear Valued Clients;
I would like to apologize for any confusion generated due to an email answered
by Customer Support. Microsoft has not announced that upcoming release of
Windows 98 will not be backward compatible for 16 bit applications; therefore,
Omega Research 16 bit products should run in Windows 98 just as it does in
Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0.

That seems like a basis for license fee refunds. Omega has represented in
marketing and sales presentations for years that TradeStation will run on
Windows NT, a true 32-bit operating system. Now, after Omega has licensed
thousands of copies, their technical support department apparently has
determined their product won't run as represented. (On the other hand,
maybe their technical staff would be better at violin playing than at
correctly answering elementary technical questions?)

Runs with no problem (yet). But I worry about the security block,
when I use it on the plane, getting knocked off and lost. Of course
it doesn't print very well without the printer.
