Maximum respect to FranÃois "Axone Man" for his support and the many
weeks he spent testing the program.
Many thanks to Jim Hauser, Paul N. Lee, Jonathan Lester, Kerry McClain,
Gerd Platl, Michael Rivero, Gerson Sbruzzi, William Stroud and Jeremy
White for taking part in the beta testing.
My apologies to all the users who've waited for two very long years to
see their suggestions eventually taken into account.
Contact me directly if you have any difficulties downloading or
installing the program.
Kind regards,
Nicolas Desprez
