Yes, but one customer reported a problem (unresolved) whereby
fonts appeared in a larger size in some screens. I don't know
if this will occur on all NT systems. If you want to run on NT,
I would want you to test it out fully prior to purchase.

This one's above my head, as I have no experience with multi-user
Win systems. But I know of one Win guru (and ECS user) that might
have a solution. INGO P. - Are you out there ? :-).
