I've been putting a lot of pressure on myself to get a trial version available. So I really have 3 choices: (1) Release the beta without some features it used to have (which you recommend I don't do), (2) Take the time to get the current bad bug out and then add the missing features, but with no trial available in the meantime, or (3) Work to get the last alpha running again on my new machine with Delphi 2009 with minimal changes. This will take a few weeks and is a step backwards, but it may relieve the pressure I'm feeling about not having that trial download available. I would not want Behold to be thought of as "crippled", so I'm now ruling out #1. I'll give one more kick at getting the virtual view problems out, and if I can't do that quickly, then I'll probably go to number 2 to give me more time. What you say makes sense, Herb.

And it will be missing some things that were in the alpha, specifically Find, Print, Print Preview and Export. We’ll do those first and get full functionality back and it will be glorious. This would be crippling the program too much. I have waited this long, some more time won't matter any. I don't see anyone badgering you to release a crippled beta. Take the time and preserve your integrity and sanity. Herb... I would not release a beta without these…So it will be missing a few additions I hoped to get in for the Beta.
