Same problems with different ports AND also different computers. :-(

Studio 4 is starting too look and feel OK...well apart from the fact that
it doesn't work :-) It also has fixed some other bugs present in 3.xx which
happen only to me as it seems.

I will be upgrading my main computer in the next few months and will
go for Win XP pro (XP=eXtra Problems??). Unfortunately I still use
some old(er) software which run under DOS and will not run on anything
faster than 300 MHz machines (Old Borland bug), so it will be a slow,
painfull process to separate stuff that will need the old, Win98 machine
and stuff that will run on the new computer. Will probably network the two
computer or just have a switch so I can use one or the other with the same
screen, keyboard and mouse.
