YES! I've gotten my upgrade to VIP professional from ISD marketing. It appears to fix all the bugs I found in VIP (mostly print formatting), runs fine under GEM and is well worth the $19.95 upgrade charge. NOTE: It *very* big. About 310K in fact. If you've got a 512K machine you might not want to upgrade as you'll only have room for very small spreadsheets. --Dwight Mckay, ECN Text & Workstation Software Support [arpanet: mckay@ee.ecn.purdue.edu, usenet: ...ihnp4!pur-ee!mckay] [Compu-serve: 75776,1521, office: EE 348B, phone: (317) 494-3561]

Unlike the original text version of VIP Professional, the GEM version uses a sparse matrix implementation which uses much less memory for spreadsheets unless they are _really_ packed. So, it may be that some users will discover that they can have larger spreadsheets than they had before.
