I agree, it should.

True again.

Actually, WIN 95 is significantly more powerful than any version of
Windows except NT. It is worth an upgrade without a doubt. It is not
perfect, but it is MUCH better than WIN 3.1 or WfWg 3.11. If you have
8 megs of ram now, you can run it OK, but it will be slower than
earlier Windows. With 16 Megs, it is very snappy. That is the price
one pays for "progress." And WIN 95 is "progress" ... just not as much
"progress" as MS wanted us to believe. :)
BTW, I should have said "the next release will "probably" be released
in WIN32 as well as WIN16 versions. Meaning that WIN16 Telemate users
will still get bug fixes et cetera.
