George and Bill, TPA 2001 will be released at the end of the summer. It has been rewritten significantly and properly ported to Windows NT and 2000. There is no reason to rule out and NT based system, as long as you have lots of memory 1 Gig or more, and a darn fast processor. Multiple processors are recommended, since the new 3D field solver can spawn multiple threads. regards, scott -- Scott McMorrow Principal Engineer SiQual, Signal Quality Engineering 18735 SW Boones Ferry Road Tualatin, OR 97062-3090 (503) 885-1231 http://www.siqual.com Bill Beale wrote: > Hi George, > > > I am considering purchase of Ansoft TPA.
