Ahhh, now I see what they were thinking. Thanks.
What I find interesting is that the 2 is significant,
while the +1 isn't. Funny that they changed the
significant part to accommodate a perceived deficiency
of an insignificant part.

Like it or not, SystemWriter, 2000, TS2000i, are all
getting close to being old junk software now. Like
the DOS 5.0ers were to Windows you guys will
eventually upgrade (albeit screaming all the way to
the store). Plenty of traders still clinging to the
past with a firm grip.
