Merry Christmas to you too Enrico.

Reason I asked about 7 is on my dual I run gui 8 and gui 7. Maybe I could run
two 8's but its just the way it worked out. I installed a 7 gui to a different
default location for "compbase" folder and was able to run two CB programs at
once.

As long as its ok with one when I get it I'll run it within an 8 GUI. Yes the 6
revisions I assumed would be a problem as I have problems with other engine
books there. But in my 7 series other books are ok.

Anyway I am happy it runs ok in the 8 series as it'll save me checking
everything within the 9 series that posters are reporting issues with.

Sarah.
