Kristi: I'd say NO. Stenocat 32 is Windows based (newer
computers, dimensions, insides, etc. Open Stenocat (4.6 is DOS
based. I already asked JM Steno if I could use Open Stencat on
my newer computer. And the answer is no.

Reason: If you're using StenoCat 32, windows based, and she's
using Open Stenocat, then there has to be some type of a
conversion process from windows to DOS.

See JM's response below: You might want to e-mail JM Steno and
ask them directly.
