[UK-CONTEST] Re: TL 4 status

[Mike Farmer]

I fail to understand your reply all I want to know is whether to hang on and
on until TL4 or look at other software that we know will be available.  Just
in case you do not understand if you were to put out some form of timescales
it would encourage people to stay with TL, or can't you see that?
