You bet you are going to hear a few complaints. VP/ix is buggy!

PFS-FIRST CHOISE, PAGEMAKER and VENTURA are "well behaved dos applications".
Try one of them out before you speek...

Could you please email the number you are calling! We MUST be talking
about a different support organization! SCO support has been very poor
at BEST for me.

Well, on this I agree! If VP/ix did what it's been said it would you'd
use the product- I paid for it to use it; not let it collect dust.

Sure hope the BUGS start going away...
