------------
I haven't sent a mailing to the VEDIT customer list yet, but will when 6.21 is ready. I am still waiting for a few things:
* We (mostly Pauli Lingren and I) are still tweaking a few macros to use new features and the new directory structure.
* I am still trying to determine why VEDIT crashes on a few customers' Win7 machines. I cannot replicate that on the eight Win7 machines we have in this office and at my home. (A local customer/programmer can replicate the problem and I am meeting with him this week to debug it.)
Please let me know of anything else you find.
Thanks.
Ted.
