It’s pretty good really. He did quite well circa 1994. Tempted to dig out an old NT4.0 CD and give it a try for giggles 🤣

I know a few customers running the NT 3.51 version of Windows Cardfile as the Windows 3.x and Win95 versions are 16bit, and the NT 3.51 version is 32bit, so runs on todays 64bit Win10/Win11 !
