Gee, 32-bit technology has been available since 1993/4 and was, more
less, standardized across the software industry in 1995. I find it
unblievable that TMG is NOT 32-bit. Wholly Genes and Bob Velke have to
be wasting a huge amount of technical support time on issues that are
DIRECTLY related to the 16-bit versus 32-bit issue. It's obvious just
from the number of posts on TMG-L and the TMG Genforum list.

I would venture to guess that there are only a couple of readers of
TMG-L that even use Microsoft 3.1 or DOS operating systems. The vast
majority of computer users are using Win95 or newer operating systems.
Given this fact, Velke is woefully behind the curve. Fact is fact that
cannot be rationalized by Wholly Genes' small staff. There are literally
hundreds of small software firms that have 32-bit software packages.
Personally, I feel that 6 years is long enough to have to wait for a TMG
version that uses the industry standard - and I'm really getting tired
of the crashes and freezups and the dozen or so work-arounds that I have
to go through to get my TMG stable. TMG is the only software that I use
that invariably crashes or freezes up.
