Question
How does 32-bit technology benefit an IOA user?

Answer
Only true 32-bit applications take full advantage of the speed available in Win95/98/2000/NT. Most Importantly, only 32-bit applications can perform the true multi-tasking that allows you to concurrently run multiple applications. 16-bit applications will suspend operation whenever the user switches to another program while IOA (in 32-bit technology) will continue to work for you.
