Very unlikely to happen, Mark 
-- in my last experience with 
Quarterdeck tech support, I 
was informed that they did not 
support QEMM versions earlier 
than 8.00 and then advised to 
"Purchase an upgrade, then 
we'll see if we can help you."  
Since v7.04 serves my needs I 
declined to drop $40+ for a 
"major upgrade" -- the main 
virtue of which was Win95 
support unanimously reviewed 
as being of very dubious value 
(and none to me, since I don't 
run that monstrous kludge of 
an "operating system").
