yes, the 16 bit version ran in 98se, occasionally with a bug but no real problem. It could be worth mailing EmcSoftware@aol.com with your version number and asking if they have a free upgrade to a later version, I think the last 16 bit version of technics kn works professional was 2.64

Final thread from EMC:
"You can upgrade to the new version for US$116. The problem with KN6k/7k is still the coded file format and the lack of support from Technics Japan, so regretably we are still limited to Kn5k"
(trade secrets & no free lunches pertain)
Thanks again Roger, Rikki, Alec for your help(I might get more from Larry G's Tutoria)
