Well MacOS X Server/G3 is going to be the first UNIX based platform to support FIleMaker Pro Server 5.0. They haven't set a target date yet, but I would guess towards the end of the summer. What *I* would do is slap FileMaker Pro Server 3.0 on a MacOS G3 machine. Then when 5.0 comes out, I would convert that machine to OS X Server. {shrug} - Shawn ------------------------------- Shawn D.
