Andy,
Do I understand you correctly that the PC portion of your TCS-4D is running
Win NT 4.0?  This makes sense to me, I guess if Win 95 works, why not NT
(guess I hadn't thought of that)?  Did you do this yourself or did Leica
help you?  Are you under service contract & does Leica have a problem with
your upgrade?  More information would be great.

You are welcome to correspond with me privately to keep the "chatter" down
on the list (I'll forward your reply to the other interested Leica users at
the UA).

Doug
