For your information: My DOS supported Scriptware program does NOT work under Windows
XP. Sfter considerable hours of manipulations for such options as overwrite, spellcheck,
change of scenes, etc. I called teck support who let me know that the DOS supported
version of this program never has worked under Windows XP. It does under Windows
98 but not under XP.. Do I need to repeat that?
