Hi Elizabeth
Thanks for your reply to my question. Yes, I did know that UFT was no
longer in
production, but thought it might be cheap update from Roots V, especially if
the
improvements warranted it ($0 is very cheap <grin>).
After a gap of several years I have resumed research and found the control
over
printed reports in Roots was not as flexible as I was used to in MSWORD,
etc.
and thought a newer version of Roots/UFT could help, as well as curing some
of its
other quirks. I posted to the list for clarification about the changes and
problems of
UFT vs R5 and didn't really want to buy a new program over a problem that I
could work around.
When I update my PC's operating system from Win98 I guess I'll have to
choose a
new program anyway so perhaps I'd better consider changing now. As you
noted,
TMG seems popular for various reasons, including the direct transfer of data
from
UFT so that might be the way to go.
Bye
Rob Wilson
