That does not exist for two reasons: A: All new versions after the latest major release 4.4 are only for beta testers who read messages in this group. That's why they are not linked to from the main Powerpro web page at http://powerpro.webeddie.com Whenever Bruce announces a new beta version here, he mentions the new features and they are discussed in the same thread, for example "Re: Beta 4.4.14", or in recent threads such as feature requests. Nobody has volunteered their time to copy extracts from those discussions into a separate document. B: An up to date version history outside of Help would be a lot of work to provide because PowerPro is more complicated than most programs and all its new and old features are so closely inter-related. Therefore the only What's New list is a topic in Help. It needs to be there so each item can be linked from its brief mention in the "New for this Release" topic to the longer description in the relevant topic. It would be very time consuming to create a separate doc or web page which is only about What's New. Somebody would have to choose selections from the Help topics which "What's New" links to, then format the new document as html or a downloadable format such as .doc or .pdf. That would have to be updated every time a new beta is released. Some of those new selections from Help would make little sense anyway when removed from the context of older related commands. Unless somebody volunteers to take on that work, you can easily read a new beta's Help yourself, without installing the new executables: - download the latest version (which is a .zip file) - extract it to a folder - it contains ppro<number>.dat (which is actually zip format) - extract that to a new folder (you may need to change its extension to .zip first, depending on your unzipping program) - it contains the new powerpro.hlp (and the new powerpro.cnt which must be in the same folder to make it work). Then you can run it, read What's New, and follow the links to the detailed descriptions. Caution: do not use any other files which you extracted from ppro<number>.dat. They need to be installed together by setup.exe. ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Yahoo! Groups gets a make over.
