Does SAW run under Windows 2000?
SAW V3.0, available in 2000, will run under Windows 95, 98, NT4 and 2000.

Which SAW do I need?
SAW comes in two versions. The popular Runtime version is ideal for users who require a no-fuss ready-to-run and efficient switch accessing system. The Designer version offers greater flexibility as new selection sets can be constructed, and existing ones tailored to suit the individual by altering the appearance, arrangement and function of each item. The Designer version incorporates a powerful scripting language that you use for creating and editing selection sets.
