Hi John and WAMUG'rs,

Good to hear from you John and many thanks for the feed-back. I'm really
interested with the concept of this application mainly for those software
that do not have a MAC-native version.

One question though, why use the Win version of Filemaker? It is such an
excellent database on the MAC-Os that I cannot imagine why use the Win
version at all. But then I'm sure that you have a good reason for wanting to
do so.

Hope all is going well with archery. On my side unfortunately I've had to
give it away due to a shoulder/arm problem. It was very difficult to stop
going to the club's weekly meet, but my GP who happens to also be a
specialist in sport medicine told me in no uncertain words that my archery
days are well and truly over ..... :(

Hope you are well and thanks again for the comments.

Regards,

Philippe
