- I have Nag Plus and think it's a great piece of software but my one complaint
- with it is that it isn't compatable with my PP&S '040. I e-mailed Richard
- Stockton, the author, regarding the problem and he suggested I turn off the
- instruction cache to make it compatable. Fine, that works but I refuse to
- force my system to run slower because of one piece of software. I think he
- should write an '040 compatable version--especially since the 4000 has been
- released.
