Hmm, that's strange. Here it works almost flawlessly and i've begun
to really like this program. Import of .xls files works to some
degree but i didn't try more than a few different files - i don't need
this import capability anyway.
The only real problem i had so far was that when i invoke "Window/SQL
Interface" WingZ allocates all memory (including virtual) until most
processes come to a grinding halt. Seems to be a familiar problem to
other people as well. :-/

That's just what i feared: Release the program without documentation
and then expect people to pay big time for it. Is it really big time
or somewhat affordable? I guess i'll better write them myself.
Thank you, P. *8^)
