Irex is abandoned software and you       won't get any help from the author. It's too bad that you paid for the       upgrade, but that's life. Personally, I think its shameful that the       software is abandoned and the author still collects registration money for       it. the best you can do is live with what you have or move on...D'Bridge       is a very good alternative and does more than Irex in the long run.              D'Bridge has its quirks too, but at least there is a live author who deals       with these problems in his support echo. IMO, you can't go wrong with it       and if you're running a BBS, that's also included in the package.                      R\%/itt                     --- GoldED+/W32 1.1.5-31012       --- D'Bridge 3.92        * Origin: Lone-Star BBS - San Antonio, Texas - USA (1:387/22)    |
