Maxim, I agree with Rick. The numbering system is confusing. Clearly we want to be in the 3.0.2 series - though I have no idea why you don't consider going from 3.0 to 3.1 with the type of changes you are talking about making. But we get mixed signals from various sources. The public beta site says one thing, the Ritlabs Web site still talks about release of Version 2, the file we download has a number that reads "30201" but after installing we see "3021". And when was 3.0.2.0 released? This type of confusion is one thing that a technical writer could help you avoid. Technical writers are trained to spot such type of inconsistencies, because they always think from the user perspective. To a programmer this is inconsequential - and maybe in the grand scheme of things the programmer is right - but to ordinary users it is problematic. They worry that they might have downloaded and installed the wrong file, and they waste time trying to confirm that the mistake is not theirs but rather Ritlabs'. By the way, from time to time TB tends to pop up for no apparent reason. This just happened to me with 3.0.2.1. Perhaps this has been reported in a "stealing focus" thread that I have not been following. I will have a look at that thread now. -- Avi Yashar Windows XP Pro SP2 and TB Pro 3.0.2.1 ________________________________________________________ Current beta is (none) | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
