- I'm running Win95 on a 486DX2-66, 16M ram, and over 2G of drive space and
- recently installed 5.0 with Patch 1. I'm not having that problem at all
- with the editor. Most of the problems I've encountered concerns speed,
- Resource Workshop, and occasionally locks up the system. I myself am
- considering sending it back and so are others based on messages in the
- comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.tools.owl newsgroup.
