Well whether it is called 'subscription' pricing or not, does not really bother me. For me, what maters is what you get and how much it costs.

I certainly understand =that=, and I have to say that I am surprised that no one else has the ability to import autocad files. I know that was not always the case. A company where I worked used SolidWorks and it could import autocad. Of corusse that =was= a while ago. Anyway ... Nothing I have seen discussed so far changes the ability of TB to import/export messages, so I am not sure what you are concerned about here. If it is not a problem now, why would it be a problem with the new payemnt system that changes nothing in how the program works? -- Best regards, MikeD mailto:miked_...@verizon.net Using The Bat! v4.2.36.4 on Windows Vista 6.0 Build 6002 Service Pack 2 ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 4.2.33.9 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
