    <DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>The conversion of the data is the one burden 
    I see with TC2000. Once you have it setup is not bad but you have to take 2 
    steps:<BR></FONT><FONT size=2>1) Export the data from TC2000 to their 
    earlier version's format.&nbsp; Doing this is not a big deal as all you have 
    to do is click on export and click on TC2000 format and O.K.</FONT></DIV>
    <DIV><FONT size=2>2) However, that data is still not directly readable by 
    MS, so now you have to go to the downloader and &quot;convert&quot; the 
    TC2000 data to MS data which all it takes is 2 clicks.</FONT></DIV>
    <DIV><FONT size=2>Disadvantages:</FONT></DIV>
    <DIV><FONT size=2>1) You have to take 2 extra steps (2 
    conversions)</FONT></DIV>
    <DIV><FONT size=2>2) It takes me almost 1/2 hour to export the TC2000 and 
    almost another hour to convert to MS ( I have an antique Pentium 200 
    MMX).</FONT></DIV>
    <DIV><FONT size=2>Of course, I set it up and then go and do other things, 
    however, many people will not like to put up with that hastle and I 
    certainly would prefer that MS reads TC2000 directly but it does not.&nbsp; 
    I do not know if this is a Worden problem or an MS problem (I suspect a 
    Worden problem since other programs read MS directly.</FONT></DIV>

    ask.</FONT></DIV>

I am sure there were a lot of objections.  It's just that us "LURKERS"
didn't think that we could add anything of value to your property value
comments.
