    Well as you have figured out the extreme beta was not released. As I did more testing, found a number of issues that were simply not working as required so the release was delayed.

    Still working the issues and found more code that needed to be updated. Also I had to work on the WPDOCTOR app as it was not quite working out of the box and needed a few things adjusted.

    Working on docs/helpfile but those may come later. Martin ok to use some of your document created for the beta 5 version?

    Started on as well as I update code/components to see get the 64 bit version working as well. Stay tuned, a version is coming, I did not want to just release a version that did not work correctly out the gate. I am sure I will miss a few things but at least it should kind of work right?

    Let me know if you have any questions.

    Thank you,

    Dale

    Yes, that's fine, please feel free.
    If you want the document source, let me know and I'll send it to you.

    As you may have determined, it was not released as we found out it had a "Extreme Break" so it had to be addressed. Tim just sent me some of his fixes as well so I am adding those in and if everything appears to be working, we will release the beta.

    We are working on it as time allows. Having several major projects going at the same time can and does slow me down a bit. :(
