[TenTec] Riding a horse (Orion II)

[Duane A Calvin]

Toby, 
        How do you know this?  My understanding was that Ver. 2.0 was to
run on both versions of the Orion.  Later they may need to "split the
build tree" as new features that reqiure more memory than the Orion has
are introduced.  But I thought that 2.0 was to be a common release.

        73,  Duane   (looking forward to 2.0 for my Orion)
