Hi Raymond!

On Apr 03, Raymond Rosch happened to mention PoP under Windows 95 to All:

RR>    I'm thinking of going to windows so I can use longfilenames and
RR> also so I can network my 2 computers together.

RR>    What pitfalls should I look out for with PoP?

It only works well if it's the foreground application. I tried the same route; 
after much frustration, I wound up moving Portal to a DOS/DESQview machine 
networked to the Win95 box. (The networking is good enough for printing to the 
printer on the Win box - essential if BGFax is to do its job when PoP calls it 
- but crashes DV if I try to move files around [but that's a DESQview issue and 
would probably be resolvable if I weren't using MS networking.])

Bests,

Tim
