Yes, and my initial reaction is...
"Just how long will it take me to change my code
so that it works with this new version!"
Of the two people here who have used it (including myself),
our old code does *not* work without alterations. These
guys at RSI really amaze me sometimes. "And hey, let's
increase the price of this software while we're at it!"
Backward compatibility Schmackward compatibility!
And insight runs soooooooo slooooooooooooooooooooooooooooowly.
And they claim the pre-release doesn't need a license manager.
Well then why does it look for one?
And if it finds an old license why does it enter 7-minute demo mode.
Hello out there!
