Ooops. I looked only in the "Extra Software" folder so did not see it. I'm downloading now and will try it out.
Thanks for the guidance.

It's available on the DataPerfect Users Discussion Group website (http://www.dataperfect.nl). Direct link to download DPSpool is: http://dataperfect.nl/CMS/index.php?option=com_weblinks&task=view&Itemid=4&c atid=13&id=11 It's also good to use the latest version of DP (2.6x) with it.
