		Have you tried to contact Getachew Worku (Grove
Engineering)?  He just completed

Station.  We found

		I am running MicroShield 5.05 on a Compaq PII 400 under NT
4.0 Service Pack
		5 with no stability problems. You might want to make sure
you have the
		latest NT service pack (www.microsoft.com).

		I am interested in the experience of others with this
program. We (D&M
		Nuclear Services group) are encountering frequent crashes on
Windows NT
		and Windows 98.  The jury is still out on Windows 95.  We
have yet to
		find a combination of computer (Pentiums I, II, III, Pentium
Pro) and
		operating system on which the program will run reliably.
None of our
		bug reports have even been acknowledged. I have an email not
related to
		a bug report that has gone unanswered since late December.

		This is extremely disappointing for several reasons. Version
		4.0 is not Y2K-compliant (as noted on Rafsafe), there is no
upgrade path
		other than a full new license, and the cost is roughly twice
that of the
		previous version. Definitely not recommended.

		Spoke to the WMG people about MegaShield and at least they
were
		forthcoming about capabilities and limitations.
Unfortunately MegaShield
		lacks the ability to perform decay calculations and it has
limitations
		regarding manipulation of its input and output files that
are critical
		for certain of my projects.

		No setting the clock back jokes, please! <g>
