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! Haze ---------------------------------------------------------- | Hazel Marie Davey hlr@aber.ac.uk | |Sefydliad y Gwyddorau Biolegol*Inst.
