- 12/21 I talked to RG Software:
-
- According to them the numbers are debugging codes that only beta
- versions of 10.0 should display. The numbers only showed up when
- vi-spy was being run by the AUTOVS program, so this could have been
- the problem somehow.
-
- Their recommendation: erase the current version of vi-spy and
- reinstall from an original disk know to be a release version.

- sort of thing that I had in mind with regards to posting product
- support questions and summaries here. I hope that others follow this
- example.]
