Mike, I totally understand your position. The port/revamp issue is an interesting beast, at best. Normally if it's a straight port, unless there are serious design changes, they're shouldn't be any fees. It's totally up to the product manager. I personally feel that moving to a Win95/NT OS would require Animator Studio to be re-architected a bit to take advantage of the 32 bit capabilities. I don't know if this will happen, it's just my personal opinion. If this happens, you'll probably see a fee to migrate.(Makes sense to me) I don't know when any announcement would be made, but Autodesk is VERY aware of the benefits of a 32-bit OS and making our products take advantage of those benefits. All I can say here is stay tuned… As far as the manual printing, it's section by section. This can be very tedious to say the least. This technique works well if you just want hardcopy of a particular topic, but not for printing the entire manual. I think your best bet is to just buy the darn thing at $19.95 and save yourself the time. Hey, flogging can be fun(or at the very least, educational)! Jh
