Hi Joseph... We don't currently have an "official" FM9 version of BookVars available yet, but the FM8 version can be manually installed on FM9 and it seems to work fine. We do plan to develop an FM9 version, and the update will be free to existing users.
If you're interested in getting a manual installer, please let me know. ...scott Scott Prentice Leximation, Inc. www.leximation.com +1.415.485.1892 Joseph Lorenzini wrote: > Hi all, > > I recently started at a new position.
