Well I for one won't have that. Opro is one of the finest program of 
its type every written. I run it on the Iyonix and my PC and it is so 
easy to use, it converts the Opro to PC effortless, it converts my old 
Impression, (some very complicated)  files again  without any real 
problems. David has always, and I stress always been there when I have 
been thick enough not to understand a problem. He has received from me 
240 page manuscripts and corrected my mistakes. No fee no fuss. BRAVO!
You, David, have no need to be sad about this sort of thing. We are so 
grateful for you abundant kindness.

Blessings

Alan
