I saw this and gotta say this:
I totally agree with this. I'm new to all this internet stuff & spent
hours trying to figure out why V3 would not work, no one even told me
it was dodgy until I emailed Chris.
Now I got trouble with mFTP (and the older one). They connect and all
that, but it starts to download (after I doulble click on the LHa or
LHz file - is that right - docs are scant) & the window comes up and
it down loads only 2% then just hangs. How long should something like
this take on an 18 meg 1200 ?
Still not got an update of V3 of webvison !!! Lucky I had NC2.
Thanks
Stuart
