April 12 10:00PM Hi, I am a registered user of Animator and Anim Pro (and should be getting Shade 2 soon). Where I work (Architectural, Civil, Engineering firm) we use ACAD 10/11 and Shade 1.1. But on to the point… The Phar Lap DosX with AniPro 1.0 does not support the XMS standard (ie Dos 5 HIMEM.SYS) as far as I can tell. The updated DosX with ACAD 11 (in addition to the patch supplied in the ACAD forum) do. Will you (Autodesk) be coming out with a new/updated DosX for Ani Pro? I would like to run AniPro and DOS without seperate boot-ups to remove HIMEM.SYS (used for my Windows 3.1 and RAMDRIVE etc.). I realize that QEMM etc. are one way to alleviate the problem, but I do not like using these types of fixes (I am not fond of QEMM386). Also, where can I find a good write-up on Shade 2, I would like to know how easy it is to use Shade 2 files with Pro, in addition to system requirements (RAM etc.). I get CADalyst, and haven't seen any good reviews in there. Please leave a message here or contact me 70621,1362, Thanks, David R. Green
