There are 3 known bugs in version 1.0 that have been fixed in later versions. But what you really lose is all the additions. This is what happends when the developer is "too fast" in generating upgrades :-) It can take 4 to 6 weeks for a release to go from the publisher to the dealer; that's a fact of life. But I believe that if you kept a DATED proof of purchase, OXXI will upgrade you for free. I don't control that anymore, but it is worth a try. Give them a call at (213)427-1227. Do you want me to stop fixing bugs, or upgrade the program? :-) -- Marco Papa 'Doc' -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= uucp:...!pollux!papa BIX:papa ARPAnet:pollux!papa@oberon.usc.edu "There's Alpha, Beta, Gamma and Diga!" -- Leo Schwab [quoting Rick Unland] -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
