I too would like to thank John Sully and microport for the recent change in
policy regarding the downloading of files from their bbs.  Allowing all
customers to download is one of the best moves that microport has made,
regarding technical support, in a long time.

I have always believed that most of the complaints about microport have
not really been that their product was any worse than anyone else's; just
that it has been somewhat difficult, in the past, to get timely fixes
to known bugs.  Many bugs haven't even been fixed until the next release.

Things should be *much* better now that we can all get bug fixes as they're
corrected.   The best part is that everybody wins; it has to be cheaper to
post than to mail :-)
