I tried calling ChipSoft, but the support AND sales #s are >busy 24 hours a day! I finally got onto their BBS and after 30 minutes of I just got the final update yesterday. The installation instructions are a little hokey, but after figuring out the "install.exe" program was not on disk #1, it worked (the install) correctly. There was one tense moment when one disk gave the dreaded "data error" message, but a retry worked (or at least my use of TT doesn't use any of the "lost" data 8-). Just remember you have to run the "update" program on your "headstart" data files before this version can read them. Also, read the "readme" file (even though some of the page numbers of off). -- Marc Ries ries@venice.sedd.trw.com (ARPA) somewhere!trwind!venice!ries (UUCP) #include
