Hi Richard,

Did you ask him about testing others comparable stacks on both your and
his computer, other softs and so on ? In others words, are realy sure
that metacard and webmerge are realy in fault. For my own, i did'nt have
any speed troubbles in using webmerge.

Other questions ? Is the 1.7 GHz connected to a LAN ? Is this box
including in a Netware network ? Is the box running a desktop or a lan
anti-virus, etc...

Best Regards, Pierre
