        Dear Nathan,

        We just had a thread about 3-4 weeks ago on this very Stylus 3000 issue over
on the Mac-NT Mailing List. The URL is:
<http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/scripts/lyris.pl?enter=Mac-NT>
where you can either join, or search the archive without joining.

        [By the way, I also refer people over here to this (WinMac) list for non-NT &
home user issues.]

        Cheers!
