Rather than call SLC, it might be more interesting to find someone here to do the beta with. I those of us beta testing the next release of FS Indexing are supposed to do it with someone.. All my friends in Spain, don't participate in beta testing, rather than call SLC, I am open to pairing with someone here who has been asked to beta the new version. Email me off list if interested.
