2014-01-17 Thread Klaus Daube
Hello friends, Can anyone of the Early Adopters tell me the build nr of the released FM-12 ? I only know the last beta/BM build: 329 (12.0.0.329). And if you have access to the files: what is the date/size of the two files fmdlg.dll, fmres.dll ? Thank You for your help Klaus Daube
