Re:how the hell do I position bands?
Will,
Unfortunately, even "INCREDIBLY LAME" doesnt give the QR2 conversion
proper credit! ;-)
Dont even try to convert. Bite the bullet and re-write it!
I aged about 3 years in 2 weeks when I tried to "convert" my QR1 reports
to QR2xxxxxxx.
Ended up restoring my backed-up QR1 reports, as QR2 totally trashed
them!
Now, I've ordered D4, but after reading these posts, I'm getting a real
bad feeling in the pit of my stomache!
I wish I could use QR1.1a (32-bit) with D4, but according to QuSoft,
they have stopped "supporting" QR1 (did they EVER support it?). Please,
someone tell me of a package with the QR1.1a (32-bit) in it!
