Joe,
Do you speak with personal experience or simply speculation?
I believe Carl offers a 10 day free trial, so you can try it before
committing to it, and once purchased, you get 1 year of free updates.
The program is not posted for download, so you have to email Carl
[EMAIL PROTECTED] if you would like to try a copy.
His subscription service is only for the updates - your copy can be run
forever even if you stop the subscription.
I also believe it runs on all 32 bit Windows OSs - I have had it running
on Windows 2000 and Windows XP, and Carl states that it will run on
anything from Windows 95 to Vista (but not isat64), and I am not sure
about NT.
I no longer use N4PY software routinely - I migrated to Ham Radio Deluxe
because of its integration for digital mode operation, but YMMV, that is
just my choice.

Be careful in committing to N4PY's software. Last I knew it
was still 16 bit code and would not run with some software and
hardwire drivers in Windows 2000/XP/Vista. Specifically, all 16
bit software is not compatible with virtual ports created by the
Eltima software library (e.g., microHAM Router) and the most
recent USB drivers from several vendors.
I do not know of any way to determine in advance if your
particular system will support 16-bit (Windows 3.1) software.
Most authors converted to 32 bit programming models when
Windows 95 was released and Microsoft is reported to be
eliminating 16 bit support completely in the 64 bit versions
of Vista/XP.
