Hi Erik,
Well we all have very different requirements from charts. I have both
Legacy Charting Companion and Legacy Tree Draw.
In my opinion, Legacy Charting outstripped Legacy Charting Companion
in its very first beta release but still has a way to go to reach the
versatility of Tree Draw although it's easier to use than Tree Draw.
However, like all new programs, it takes a bit of getting used to the
things you can do with it.
I much prefer Legacy Charting's way of changing box size and content
than Legacy Charting Companion and like the Themes and the way you
can create your own.
Getting a Legacy Charting Companion chart to fit on a page takes a
lot of trial and error. It does make some pretty charts but Legacy
Charting makes even prettier ones, if that's what you're after.
For a large wall chart of descendants, unless you want a long narrow
strip, you still need Legacy Tree Draw.

Rodney,
Your statement ...
"As far as I can see, it will be superior to Progeny's product."
calls for a comment (running the risk of getting this thread banned too ;-)
I have been using Legacy Charting Companion for a long time, and apart from
a more fancy GUI (for better, for worse), Legacy Charting is FAR behind
Progeny in terms of functionality.
