No, you only need to add two line of code, nothing more!
>I don't know, that is 1st. Secondly, I have a very large vertical application that would require many changes, in order to convert to the FoxyPreviewer. I hear only good things about FoxyPreviewer but I don't see, for far, the need to change.
