  I think the quoted text was clear enough.

  Alex,
  
  OK, I was only wondering if there were any other features involved... I am sure looking forward to 3.0!!!
  
  Sorry if I offended, it was not my intention.
  
  I am especially looking forward to the native support for Dot Matrix printing... as you already know
  
  Thanks much,

  Alex,
  
  Thanks!!! That list was exactly what I wanted to know!
  
  I am very glad to see that the Dot Matrix support is in the "Core" support... this is still very important for many companies producing large financial, or plant production reports and labels!!!
  
  I can't wait to see and hear more!!!
  
  Thanks again,
  --Raymond

  Hi AlexTZ
  I saw the list of the new features, but just want to confirm if the PictureView was fixed.
