There are two things which were annoying for me in FM Pro 1:

1. Non-alphabetic characters (as @#$.,) were treated as white-space in Indices.
2. Size limit for Indices of 32 characters were to short if you had to construct
   a catenated field as key for a reference to another file (thus referencing
   the wrong data).

Has any of the above restrictions been addressed by FM Pro 2.0?

Thanks
Michael

PS: Unfortunately I lost the Claris mail address somebody gave me to ask the
question.
