Are the workstations still 98, or were the workstations all upgraded
to Win2K?

There was a slight change made in filePro's display routines around
5.0.09 or .10, which had no impact on performance on 95/98/Me systems,
but apparently causes a performance hit on NT/2K/XP/2003 systems.  (No
one reported this until recently -- see "Show Commands are Slowing
Speed of Filepro" on this list sometime in the past month.)

Do you do a large number of SHOW statements in the examples you site?
