To be precise:

[blah blah blah]
I was highly skeptical, so I went and got it.
It works _great_. I'm writing my check now.
In a nutshell: with the Audio driver loaded, I used to be able to open 3
apps.
Using this program, I have running right now:
Newt (the winsock app I use), Mail, Netscape, Archie, Ping, WordPerfect for
Windows 5.2, Microsoft Publisher 2.0, Telnet,Telnet again, Adobe Acrobat
reader and Moremem.
The only suck thing is going to be waiting for the activation code in the
mail.....
