We are still using the DOS software. Last time we looked at the
upgrade option the Windows software didn't support the autoclone
module. This may have changed now but we were not prepared to pay
several thousand pounds for a software upgrade (+ the probable
upgrade of the pc that we use for acquisition) for some software that
did less in some respects than the old software!
I saw the new software demoed at Rimini and it looked very nice, but
if you are happy with the DOS version why upgrade? The DOS software
may be somewhat quirky - but at least we know those quirks!
Just my 2c worth!
