- Nina, That is a Release 6 manual. They're using release 5 though if they
- could find a copy of that manual it would be correct information. They would
- want the release 5 equivalent. The one that talks about QBF, VIFRED and forms.
- BUT, I can't remember the title ARRRRRGhhhhhh!.
-
- Buy the way, I think the release 6 manual is more complete .
-
- These are strictly my opinion. If you disagree then E-mail me.
