Please take note! > Keith Without your explanations I couldnt lose my prejudices, Keith. But with your logic it worked. Now I can see that this is impossible to do for Vasik. Ok, I with my experience, I can manage to store my different versions of Beta - some hundreds - but such a straight forward guy (IM!) like Vas couldnt do that, I agree with you. I apologize also for having planned to release my 200 Betas over a period of time of 18 months. I will now release The ROARING Thunder without any Betas at all, directly with the final version.
