sounds like a plan, although I am not sure how well it will handle 8.9 originated bins - B.

I agree. I wish I had an earlier version. One of the advantages of
Interplay is that there is a very tight version matrix of that all 20+
Media Composers, Interplay and ISIS have to fit. The actual solution to
my problem might be installing 8.4 or earlier on a non Interplay, stand
alone system and using that for media management. Many Thanks. --J.B.
