Dear Suraj, Surmandal, Bibek, Thanks for the message and recommendations. Based on the recommendation from Bibek, I would go (Install in my frns computer) for the CD version this time. I hope I will get a copy from Prabin @ Digitrust sometime today or tomorrow. In the meantime, I would also like to have a copy of the DVD version with me so will try to meet you (Surmandal) may be this weekend. Can't locate your contact number at the moment?
