I'm still on win7. Can't actually get Win8 to operate in a way I can cope
with. Too much like a tablet. But with a mouse that is constantly
activating things I don't want. And trying to be productive in my work
seems to be counter my experience on Win8. Probably too used to DOS,
Win3.1. Ha!

But thanks. I'll try it out and see if I can get successful builds.

Richard.
