[Ralph Cohen]

HI,

I received a response from Jimmy at Southsoft this afternoon with
answers to a few of the bugs and feature requests included in the
inquiry sent earlier this week.  I've posted a synopsis of his response
below.

I haven't gotten a copy of the new OS/2, but I do have the Windows
version.  
Still no list but I'll confirm what I can from the Windows version.

It is between 30,000 and 35,000 now.  Over 8 hours

Sorry I don't have any more (information) right now but I am still
