Hi all,

I've added CSL's (Computing Systems Limited) LINKWAY 16 and 32 bit ODBC driver
to the list.

Dictionary, NS services, SPT Collector, SPT Analyzer are being considered.

QUESTION: is it worth paying more for support (I don't know how much more,
so this is more a philosphical question) to include the above 4 products,
or is it a higher priority to keep the price as low as possible while meeting
the needs of the majority of MPE developers?

Here is the latest info I have on the s/w bundled with the 918DX:
