  Hiarcs 6 runs under NT4, a rarity for a DOS program. I assume that Hiarcs 7
can run under Windows 2000. Are you sure about DOS programs not being able to
run under Windows ME? I thought that 2000 is NT, and ME is 9X so a DOS version
of Hiarcs should be able to run under ME.

  I hope that Hiarcs 8 will have DOS, Windows and Macintosh versions on the same
CD. That should be something!
