Claus,

could I get some more support, please?
[If you had the time to give a reply to the "TeXshop" and "Finally we  
are grown up"-thread you might also have the time to support your own  
product.]

I mean, I didn't buy it (untested) to find out that some button "is  
deprecated" and now I have to find my way through the mess.
If you don't want to give support to clients and tell them what they  
should do to make your product work you shouldn't do it for money.

Sorry, but I really am a bit crossly because I need that Flashmode  
today, that's why I have bought it. And I assumed that the version  
you provide via digibuy is usable – not only for programmers but also  
for regular users.

(The reason for posting my troubles also to the list is that  
hopefully I am not the only one who bought your software.
And maybe others already have experience with how to use it ... and  
are more willingly to help.)

Steffen
