Glen,
Your point is well taken. However, first we were told a witness function
would be in version 5. It wasn't. We were then told that the witness
function was more involved than originally anticipated and thus did not
make it into version 5. I appreciated Ken's explanation. We were then told
that there were still plans to include a witness function because Millennia
considered this a very important feature. Now, a year and half later, a
new version of Legacy is on the horizon and a witness function still has
not been included. I totally agree that Millennia is adding the bells and
whistles that will sell the most programs. My complaint is that those of
us who are interested in a witness function (and believe me, there are
considerably more people than what you apparently think there are) have
been strung along for more than a year and a half. Millennia has every
right to include the options that they feel will feed their bottom line.
But at least be honest with the users. Don't tell us a requested feature
will be implemented and a year and a half later there is no sign of that
feature nor does there appear to be any plan to offer that feature. I
would have moved on long ago if I had known that I would never see this
feature in Legacy.

Ron,
I suspect that the programming efforts needed to put this feature in would
out weigh the cost benefit. I don't know how many others are clamoring
for the Witnesses feature, but I would suspect it was far less than had
asked for the IGI search routine and other bells and whistles that have
been added. They need to put programming efforts in that will attract
new users as well as please current users. If you are the only one who
wishes this feature Or if you are one of a small hand full, how would
that benefit them???
My two cents worth.
