Hi Saqib, Yes, they do. they used to bring out betas on a regular schedule. Like I said I'm not sure if that has lapsed, or whether it's the mail on my end. It was quite a good way of testing specific features of the program, if you were prepared to put up with some bugs as is the very nature of beta testing. They had a strong testing panel, and had good communication between the developers and testers via a mailing list. Drop me a line off list if you like and I can send you more particulars as I'll be sorting out my own membership as well. Best, H. > hi Hussain. I'm not on that program.
