If so, >please post it. 1.8 became available about six months ago. It crashes less often than 1.5, displays imported bitmaps faster, and most importantly: it lets you install and remove font directories ('suitcases') while you are in the program, and it doesn't load in all ten zillion of your font files when you start it. No other really major features were added, just things like 'Show Column Outline' now shows it as a dashed line, small and large bugs were fixed, etc. 2.0, which people keep discussing, won't be available for a while yet. If you want to talk to SoftLogik about an upgrade, they have customer support at (314) 894 0431 during business hours (Central Time). Version 1.5 users like myself could upgrade for $10 or $25 (the $10 gets you a new program disk, the $25 also has the font disk, which is basically unchanged, and a copy of the new manual, which is much slicker.) I don't know if the offer still stands, but it probably does.
