Just out of curiosity, anybody here has tried to use an old version of
electronics workbench(let's say, 4.0 or 5.1.2) in a recent OS?
I am thinking about reinstalling my old version, just for fun. But, I
don't know if it will run under win2k... duh. :~(. I remember using it
under win95.

are you talking about the same version that ran under DOS? if not, and
the one youi ARE talking about runs under DOS, it may be that it's still
a DOS app and was fixed so it would save. try DOS compatibility mode on
new OSs.

just right click the apps icon or it's shortcut, select properties, and
go to the compatibility tab.

sorry, i should have thought of that before.

br,
