Hi Ellen In addition to the webpage thta was given and that you have been using, there is another one at: http://www.tolkenxp.com/pb/ All of his webpages show a copyright 2003 and this one shows new software as recent as April 3, 2003. Perhaps he has been too busy to answer emails - who knows? What I would do in your shoes is to go ahead and use the software. Then whenever Mr Hagsten decides to reply to your emails, you can send him a donation Let it be up to him!
