Is anyone knowledgeable on this subject? How does one get the API? What's in it? (Maybe someone from Lotus can comment - unofficially of course.) You phone Lotus and ask for it -- at one of the numbers listed in the Improv manuals (don't remember which). The diskettes came last week (about 4 weeks after I phoned). I know about the API on the archive. However, is it the "gold" version? The last time I looked, it was not supported by Lotus - so perhaps this is an early or beta release??? What's the story? The two are identical -- and as far as I can tell not completely flawless (I keep getting erro messages occasionally). Since I don't intend to use Improve very much, I did not try to find out more about the Examples included. The diskettes are not supported either. Greetings, Hardy -------****------- Meinhard E.
