<DIV><FONT size=2>While I prefer most dos versions of the programs that I use, I 
tend to agree with Equis' position.&nbsp; To sell a CD of V6.52 for $10.00 is a 
giveaway. While this doesn't include the manuals; the online help has all or 
almost all of the content of the hard copy manuals.</FONT></DIV>

  damn."&nbsp; I said we won't<BR>support the program any more.</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=2>The company decision was to not make any version prior to 
  6.52 Y2K<BR>compliant.&nbsp; We set a version level and have not kept it a 
  secret.&nbsp; Most<BR>software companies are not fixing older versions of 
  their software for<BR>many reasons, not the least of which is costs 
  involved.</FONT></DIV>

  properly.&nbsp; I am telling<BR>you that we are not supporting it and 
  therefore have not tested it<BR>against Y2K data.</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=2>Companies must draw the line somewhere.&nbsp; We are not

  <DIV><FONT size=2>We are also not trying to make money on the Y2K issue.&nbsp; 
  Here is a<BR>letter, also to be published publicly, which we have been sending

  get<BR>version 6.52 without manuals for $10.00 beginning September 1, 1999
