I'm about to upgrade my operating system from Win95 to Win2K.  Has • anyone done
this yet, and are there issues with the common LCAD software that I • ought to
be
aware of?  Wouldn't want to be stuck without my virtual bricks.

Thanks, Heather

I've already made the move.  As far as I can tell, everything works except • the
original LEdit, becuase win2k doesn't like DOS applications.  You can • still run
things like L3P on the command line and still unpack the .exe download • files
though, by typing 'command' into the run dialog, it will give you the DOS
prompt.  Type exit when you are done, just like a DOS prompt in Win 98 and
earlier.

You can also get the command prompt up by going to Start -> Programs ->
Accessories and clicking the command prompt icon (why did MS move it there?
I was quite happy where it was it NT!).

(...) Actually, you can move it from there, and place it where you link, or even place a shortcut where you would like it to be. See ya Rui Martins (24 years ago, 20-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
