Bill did not expressly say so, but the Windows platform we are 
using is a Windows 2000 Professional box -- We have no later

my wife's personal box at home, which is XP Home edition, and 
see.

Curious, but frankly, the Windows environment is not so 
friendly to developers as Linux [and until 1995, I formerly 
developed there as my target platform]
