Them problem is that these users that insist on continuing to use the older FPD26 app still want the latest greatest features. We've been adding those features only to the windows versions-most because it simply isn't feasible to add them all to the dos version and some features the DOS version cannot handle (we added networking support, web page display, email, pdf generation, etc). However, in this case, it made sense to add it to all versions regardless and there is no limitation of FPD26 to prevent it.


>>SNIP Initially all new features were only supposed to be in the latest versions of the app to entice the users to upgrade but when they complain, well eventually they get their way... :o)
