IT IS NOT, and THEY SAID SO. I have heard several reports that there are discussions on US networks along the line of Lisowski's remarks. Well, They told me that they wouldn't charge me until they shipped the product, but they billed me in June for a "Sneak preview" that I don't want that was shipped in August. I am only interested in working versions. The literature enclosed with the shipment did NOT say that "it would not work", although it acknowledged a few bugs. I really like PP, so I will wait and pray, but what they told me is not what they told Lisowski. -- Bill Silvert, Habitat Ecology Division.
