I wouldn't know. The 6.0c was an American-only issue, by the way. As I stated 
before, I do have 6.0b and 6.2 here in separated directories, for I want to 
have the both the Dutch and UK versions working independently but 
simultaniously in their own OS2-box.
No difference, except for the handling of tables, and WP6.2 is a bit quicker 
in mailmerging and databasefunctions.

Sadly, at this moment it's only much ado about nothing. (-:

Well, PC On-line is telling this story about then years know, aren't they? 
Hasn't of course nothing to do with M$ commercial politics . Anyway, if 
you want to rely on that kind of information, I hope you will be happy with 
that.

Be happy. In short time you will be forced to Win98 or whatever else BillyBoy 
is going to force on you.
No problem for me: I'll be going along along with that dead thing you 
mentioned for many, many years.
    Groeten uit Gent,
