Hi Ken:

 KC> Can anyone tell me how to get 1st reader to work with Windows XP?
 KC> Thanks!

Try running it in a "cmd.exe" window, not "command.com"
window.  There seems
to be better DOS emulation by using "cmd.exe" rather than
command.com.  Once
you've setup the cmd.exe window for 1st Reader, open properties and play
around with the options.

 KC> # CMPQwk #1.4# UNREGISTERED EVALUATION COPY

The latest version of CMPQwk is 1.42 which is still available for download
from sites that carry archives of older applications.  Do a Google search
for it.  Since it can no longer be registered, you may (to my understanding)
use it freely.  It works very well (for me anyway) in XP Home or Pro.

Regards.
