>  I run Windows 95 on my main486 computer.  CT9 can run inside a window, but
>  I prefer to use a DOS shell or dedicated DOS application (shuts down Windows)
>  for safety.  As long as you run CT by itself (nothing else open), it should
>  be fine...otherwise you can run into IO conflicts and/or very slow
performance.
>  I've run it with a DVP, CW LPT interface, and the master.dat all at once and
>  no problems found... at least nothing unusual.  73, Tyler KF3P
