[DXBase] DXBase 2005

Dave,
Look forward to seeing you at Dayton. But, I don't have a clue what prompts
your question? Whatever you currently do is still there and unchanged. So
have no fear, whatever you currently get alerted for will continue. There
were some new capabilities added and you can read about them on the web.
"real time".... of course.... nothing changed here either. I want some of
what you are drinking!
See ya at Dayton,
Jack
