[Papyrus-L] Working in Windows

[John Chapman]

Dear all,
    I have the same problem as Michael.  I have to upgrade to the 
latest version of windows because our systems administrator is too 
strapped for time to service a wide range of Windows version.  
     Perhaps some Papyrus users with institutional sources of funding 
could pay a full price while poorly funded individuals could pay a 
reduced price.  Newsletters also have sliding scales for subscriptions.   
Journals have sliding scales for page charges.  Could this help fund 
a Windows version of Papyrus?
