I posted word of a bug I ran across in PC Tools Databases that wouldn't
allow me to print ALL records of a database to a file; only the first one.

This is a documented bug in the version of the DESKTOP.EXE file dated
8-10-89, according to Central Point.  It doesn't occur in earlier
releases of that EXE file, and it came about as a side effect of fixing
something else (boy, I know *that* feeling).  It will be fixed in
Version 6.0, appearing soon at a store near you.

This isn't really news to all, but it was to me.  I thought it might 
save someone else the price of a long-distance phone call.
