Martin, A lot of folks didn't go to 1.3 because they didn't need, or want any of the features in it…for WB only users, and those with floppy based systems…1.3 didn't offer much. V1.4 will offer much, much more for both CLI and WB users, and will add new video modes. Because of that…the majority of those that ARE going to upgrade, will upgrade within 6 months. The rest of the folks will be like those that still use MS-DOS 2.0 or WB 1.1 (1.2, etc.)…they'll stay with what they've got and as I said, they also won't be buying much new software anyway. They're happy with what they have and see no need to change it. Because of that, since they won't buy any (or very little) new software, and they don't have v1.4…then they should be of no concern to software developers. You develop for future buyers, not future non-buyers. Don
