Hi donfede,

That's a good point.  I also don't have access to that software.
Once we have the prerequisites for PACTOR support, we can generate
a preliminary package for testing and document any limitations.

For what it's worth, I didn't intend to imply that there was anything
amiss with the patch-out.  My motivation is merely to support useful
features to users where we can.

Cheers,
tony
