I was just on the Freesoft Roundtable on GEnie last night and _no_ mention was made of the release of Red Ryder 11.0 whatsoever. I would expect that the Roundtable would be one of the very first places to announce such a release. In fact, I read one message that obliquely referred to the fact the Watson was working on RR 11.0, and its release date was uncertain. Please recheck your sources. The rumor page of MacWEEK (or was it InfoWorld) recently talked about RR 11.0 and MicroPhone II v. 3.0. However they were speculating about features that the programs might include. The rumors did _not_ state that either program has been released. In fact, I understand that MicroPhone II 3.0 is not quite in beta testing yet. Jim -- Jim Macak
