I read all that on the site, but that doesn't necessarily mean that it
won't work on XP, hence my question.

I haven't installed it on XP myself but others have and reported it
works just fine. It's an old app - XP probably didn't exist when it was
released.

I'll bet you dollars for doughnuts that it runs on XP. I d/l'd it and
installed it on my win2k system, fwiw, and it ran fine.
Btw, the program is quite obnoxious w/its repeated attempts to sell you
cr*p while using it. Reminds me of QuickBooks...but a lot less useful.
There's gotta be better greeting card s/w out there. Pity too,
Broderbund used to be a real class act.
