I'm not sure exactly why you assume this. I am by no means any sort of expert on the subject, but I believe the initial leap from system 9 to system X presented the biggest hurdle for Finale, and that shouldn't be the case now on any sort of regular basis. > 2.

Again, aside from relatively minor compatibility issues of a normal variety, my expectations for 2005 would be that it's ready to go in Tiger right away. > 3. Any idea when Fin06 will likely ship?

I don't, however, really do anything with EPS export. Don Hart _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
