There are three that slipped in under the radar.

I'll file that info away for a later time.

Thanks again

Yes, VPC worked very well before MS took it over. They really don;t have any incentive to improve it, unlike Connectix, and it only emulates a PII @ 600Mhz anyway. (Something you will not see at the MS website)
