John, Thank you for the excellent information (as well as all the time and efforts you and many others have put into the release of Legacy 8).
Regarding my issue with the PP alert causing the program to hang, I am very happy to report that Build 356 has indeed fixed it. Thank you, Millennia and folks. On another matter, you stated above to C.G. Ouimet that "but I will also repeat... you want to install Legacy in your C:\Program Files folder. Virtually no testing was done with Legacy installed anywhere else." On my C: drive I have two folders -- one named Program Files, the other named Program Files (x86). Legacy 8 is installed in the latter. Is this as it should be? I thought during the install process I let Legacy 8 install itself where it wanted to. Do I need to uninstall and then re-install?
