Hi Harry,
Sorry for the problems (NOT your fault :-)).
Are we saying that the ECS "main" window (Group Screen)
appears then disappears ?
I strongly suspect that this problem is related somehow
to the fact that you are running under NT.
There IS a known minor problem related to fonts, but
this is the first I have heard of this.
Please email me the following files:
	C:\PROGRAM FILES\ECS\*.LOG
	C:\*.LOG

BTW, the ECS "console" win is used to execute other programs
(such as SUNCLC to calculate sunrise/sunset times).

Thanks for your help and patience.
Feel free to call 423-745-0026 if you have questions.
