Re: GUICAT and Windows 2000

[Martin Lindén <martin@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I have now heard inofficially that Innovative does not support Windows 2000.
As I have not seen any public message about this, I would certainly like
other libraries to press Innovative for a statement about Windows 2000 and
INNOPAC Millennium.

Our policy will be to install NT4 on staff workstations for the time being.
Evidently there are some problems with that too but hopefully these problems
will be easier to sort out.
