Hi Mike, thx

my problem is, is that I don't have a test bench anymore...so now I want
to, more or less, take baby steps into it.

as Steve Stern said earlier, maybe wait 3 wks or so...then I'll kinda
test the water... feel what other people are sayin bout it then upgrade
to fc4 if I feel the reports seem good...Thing bout it is...can't wait
forever to do it because then we fighting short legacy.

thx

John Rose
