Subject: Re: Question about Platform Support
I was looking for a "Contact Us" link with an e-mail form to fill out. I
didn't want to join a list at the time, since I'm not having problems
using the program. (Also, I was e-mailing from work and didn't have
much time.) Most web pages have contact limks at the bottom of the Home
page - I didn't find any on yours.
The project you described sounds like it would meet my needs perfectly.
When it's done will I find it on the Download page?
Thanks for your timely response,
Jacquelyn
