ATM Figure45 and win xp

[Aplanatic@aol.com]

Dear List,

It has come to my attention from users of Figure that the program does not work under the new xp operating system.  Thank you very much, Microsoft. :>(  I have no clue what the trouble is, nor do several knowledgeable, highly-computer-literate friends.  They don't understand it either.  In any case, be aware that the DOS version of Figure is seemingly doomed for the great OS-upgrade trash heap in the sky.

I'm slowly learning C++ in what little spare time I can set aside, so there may be a windoze version in the (distant?) future.  Until then, if you have win xp you can try Sixtests by Jim Burrows at:

and Tex by Michael Lindner at

My thanks goes out to the ATMers that have reported the problems and to those that have offered suggestions.

Sorry for the trouble,

Dave Rowe
