I have already spoken with Srinivas Kotla and glad to report that his installation of MS-Office over PC-Interface/AFS is working fine. All Srini needed to do, when he got disconnected from his server, was to toggle back to "Network Option" and reconnect to his server and continue with his installation. If would like to discuss the workings of PC-Interface further, I can be reached at the following: Phone: (310)337-5928 Fax : (310)670-6500 E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sincerely, Jim Cox
