I have upgraded my v1.3 to v 1.4, but when I went to upgrade ABCreator
to v1.4 it told me it would be a 5 1/2 hour download time. I can't do
this! Any suggestions? Thanks

BTW Rob, Great Product!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I am useing a 56.6K modem, and all my other downloads go pretty quick,
this is the first one I've seen taking quite that long (other than the
current Netscape versiion).

I do have the Demo disk, but I wasn't sure if this would work like the
AB upgrade. Will it?

Thanks Rob, you've been a big help! I'll try it again when I get home!
I have already bought the CD version for AB and have refused (even
with constant whineing) to burn copies for my freinds, I know at least
5 of them have downloaded the Demo version and I know most of them plan
to purchase, as they hate the big "UNREGISTERED COPY" across each page.
Thanks again.

Lee,

That could be local or temporary line conditions or just the fact that
the value is not reliable. Often times IE has displayed a LONG time at
first download and then that is very speedily revised down. Give it a
cuppla minutes.

Bern

Reality is a chronic condition,
& one generally ignored by cats.
