Whoops If this is true, I'll remove this silly claim. I wrote it, and to be honest I've not looked at the competition for some time. Still, I'm suprised if this is the case. It took some getting round microsofts hurdles, especially on the newer operating systems. Anyway I hope that the plethera of functions are still enough to rival the more expencive tools out there, and I hope to market this very inexpencively. Thanks.
