Thanks for the info Chuck!


BTW: I am ready now to buy the 1.7 full upgrade...

I just sent this to tech support - can you help with this at all?

I would like to also purchase the scriptPak CD upgrade, however I would
really appreciate it if you could create some kind of coupon discount and
knock the price down for both of these a little bit. the reason I ask is
that I have supported your company since the very beginning ( when I listen
barely worked) ... and also the fact that I am very low on funds right
now.... anything you can do to help would be greatly appreciated.

Also Chuck Rogers is a GREAT GUY! - does that help too? haha
