While I know this is not easy, it does seem doable, especially if you can ensure that the OS is in some sort of quiescent state prior to switching. I'm envisioning something along the lines of a hot-key to do the swap. And it doesn't have to be instantaneous; 10 seconds would be acceptable to me. I'd be interested in hearing about any work along these lines, or any thoughts on such a project. Thanks. -- Benny Jones 614-538-4519, 614-457-8600 CompuServe 70003,1153 Internet ben@csi.compuserve.com
