You say you have upgraded "many" times but bugs rarely show up.  Why
then did you upgrade at all?  NetcGold (or is that NetcBRASS) has only
recently came onto the market and there have been many upgrades (as
you say) precisely because of the many bugs.....

Really!  NetcPlus is a Visual Basic program.  There IS a speed
difference.  This point is self evident to any programmer (as I am),
unless the people at NetcPlus have somehow got 110% performance out of
this language.
I'm not saying that Visual Basic isn't good.  I'm just saying that it
has its limitations and cannot compare with a real language.  To say
that it does is.....well......:-)
