  It would be nice if we could at least download the new version 5 so as to test it out, but as VersionTracker users will inform you, if you will visit the VT site, we cannot. One user was able to download the version 5 upgrade, AFTER paying the upgrade fee. It makes you look bad, Jim. I'd get that link fixed right away, before folks begin to think that you've got a "forced purchase" gimmick going on. :)

  Unfortunately the link went out while we were sleeping; it's fixed now (and there's an alternate download link).

  Thanks,
