   Actually the person I spoke with looked up the hardware requirements and
it said that a CD-ROM was recommended but not required. I see that in the
installation manual it again says a CD-ROM is not required for the intel
version, but that it is required on the SGI platform because the software is
only available on the CD-ROM.
   The NewTek person apparently presumed incorrectly that the software was
still on floppies. The fact that the installation manual only gives
instructions for installing from floppies and not from CD-ROM indicates that
it was intended to be on flopppies at some point and then they changed their
mind. This was probably the source of the mis-information.
   To get a CD-ROM for my portable will be around $350. I may just go for a
refund and try a different modeling package. I had problems of a like kind
with AutoDesk for AutoCAD, but because we had devoted so much time and money
into their software we were committed. It may be better to bail out now
rather than continue to have continued hassles with NewTek if that is the
way they are going to be.
