The only gripe I have is that I can't get it to print! For awhile, sending
output to /tmp/dosOUT worked fine. Then you just had to lpr /tmp/dosOUT
when you were done with your SoftPC session.

Now, however, I cannot get it to output ANYTHING. Calls to Insigna 
Solutions have been met with "No one available now. Can someone return
your call?" Well, I'm not sure. 

I'm going to call again right now. If anything positive happens, I'll
definitely post it.

Other than the printing, I love the program!
