Of course it should still run. JH> I've got a '77 440 going into my '38 International someday. All I can say, Jim - is, "You haven't SEEN Toms' truck!" (Hi Tom ) Actually, isn't 20 yars fairly 'mature' for a vehicle ? I seem to remember there being a "rule of thumb" a few years back that anything over 30 was considered antique (and 50 and over - ancient ;), or was that "ROT" for furniture... My 45 year old is still sitting in the driveway. I had REALLY hoped to have it back on the road THIS summer, but "the best laid plans of mice and men"... ("now you know the rest of the story"). SOMEday (soon - I hope), we'll be taking the engine up to a friends garage (one with concrete floors, and a roof ;) where he builds his race cars, and check it out. Then perhaps when the rainy weather gets here (no racing) we'll flatbed the rest of it up there and put everything together . Well, maybe OTR next summer...

They're road testing v2.16 which is supposed to be in more than just DOS format from now on. I hear Win 95, OS/2 and DOS are now supported directly. It's changed a lot just from the original 2.01 I got in January '95. Prior to that I stuck strictly to Maximus due to the cost (free) and the fact it was always ahead of the game with additions. They're slipping now and calls to he great white north (Canada, eh) are down right expensive anymore to get clean archives of Maximus.
