   I have a CD around here that has one of my first registered installs of   
   Irex archived on it. That was a working model and I should be able to   
   retrieve it at paste into a newer system and read the setup. Even if it   
   was on a DOS 6.2 system.   
      
    RC>>>    I wonder if I should try setting it up from scratch (including   
    RC>>> the entry of the registration info) on a clean install...   
      
    RW>> If you have preserved the reg info, that should be a good way to go.   
      
    RC>     I've a print out of that somewhere, but in this case since the

   That works...

    RC>     That's what I ended up doing.  It appears to be operational but I

   That will come with time and use of the software. I'm not a programmer or   
   even a guru of Irex, just plenty of time and experience with using it.
