Re: TS 5.0 FEATURES (....a question)

["The Omega Man" <editorial@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, there was some bum scoop on that on the list a while back.  A press
release on Oct 1 was intended to clarify things...  You will be able to use
TS 5.0 with FutureSource.

Check out:

Good trading,

Now you're messin' with a son-of-a-bitch

I saw but deleted by accident some comments that related to a dispute
between Omega and Futursource.   I got the impression  that for some reason
I would not be able to use TS5 with FS.  Could anyone clarify this?  Did I
get the wrong end of the stick here?

Many thanks
