Hi Vitaly,

Happy holidays to you and yours. I don't use the automation feature of TF8.x
for multiple issue system test reporting (because I like the charting
appearance of MS 6.5 better) but I'm sure it can do them.

You'd have to try it to see what I mean when I say TF8.x and MS6.5 are
complimentary, and not necessarily competitive.

BTW, there's a Technifilter discussion group over on Silicon Investor,
supported by none other than our own Richard Estes. Infrequent, but
illuminating posts for Technifilter users.

Happy Holidays to all,

Dick
