[WriteLog] WriteLog sales are back!

[Steve Woodruff]

Hi Joe,

I really can't answer that question since I've not used
these 3rd party tools and I don't have a 64 bit OS.

If anyone in the WriteLog community has used this
combination perhaps they can report on their success
or failure with these attempts?

Thanks,

Steve
