Rod, It looks like you got some answers, but since you addresed your questions to me, I will pitch in as well. <<Can we possibly get past this tired old mechanical "standard recorded answer" mode for a second. I've been using AutoCad for over nine years now, and I'm a veteran of the AutoCAd Forum, so I'm use to these types of answers from Adesk employees. >> This being the case, you should know the standard answer to this. Under no circumstances will I, any product support representative, or SYSOP/TM on the forum talk about unreleased products. We are just simply not allowed to. I'm sorry, but that is the way it is. There are, indeed, other departments that have a little more freedom in this matter, but we are not one of them. On to your questions,,, <<If I boot up Win/NT 3.5, using it's dual boot feature, and chose to boot up as a DOS machine will 3DStudio launch and run like these other DOS programs are reportedly doing? I'm NOT talking about runing inside NT, I'm talking about the separate DOS bootup option.>> In this scenario, you are using DOS. DOS works. You are not running under NT, so my response "3DS does not run under NT" does not apply. <<You and I both know Adesk has Beta releases of Win/95, so all I'm trying to find out is what has been observered so far. I've been talking to Win/95 Beta users and I'm hearing disturbing reports about it's ability to emulate DOS windows,>> How can I intellegently give you an answer to this? Yes, I am sure Autodesk has copies of WIN/95 also. I don't have one, but that is a moot point. The whole point of being a BETA release is to allow developers to try and clean up problems. Whatever problems may or may not exist now, are certainly being addressed by developers, and will hopefully be fixed for the actual release. Until that actual release exists, there is absolutely no way to talk intellegently about the behavior of our products and that software. -Brian
