Yah, I too like it.. have used it for years.. geesh, many now that I think 
about it.

I tried their demo, found it very slow going to page 2, and hard to type.. 
They gave me a fix to allocate more memory, but still did not help a lot, 
so I dropped it.

Same here.

Thanks for the reminder on this. It has been years since I was on there, 
forgot about it.

BTW, CodeWeavers is coming out (exact date unknown, but they are working on 
it) with a release for WP, don't know if it will the 2000 suite, or just 
WP, but this too I have been waiting for.. sounds interesting. Wouldn't it 
be nice if they threw in Paradox, et al?  I suspect it will be out probably 
second quarter of next year, but unsure, just heard rumors on the suggested 
date.
