Then the same should hold true for this version also!!It is a substantial new version!! All the newest programs have their own set of flaws. But does this mean they should not be tested , of course not!!! I understand waiting for updates, etc. That is not the point . Please include ALL or the SSDF list is non-conclusive. Paul
