I asked Bill Lederer at Mark Williams Co. a couple of weeks ago if they
were going to supply a library for the SFP004.  He told me they had an
'004 in-house and were working on the library at the time we talked.  He
said he would not give an estimate of when the library would be out, but
as soon as the beta testers (like me! :-) were satisfied, they would
inform registered owners of the availability of the library.  I didn't
get any particulars about linkage methods, etc., but I am sure it will
be up to MWC's usual (high) standards.
