Hey, it's a beta, there are always problems, but non significant in the
areas I played with. HOWEVER, it's a Beta and as Charles pointed out you
can now order the refresh to CA and get it, so why mess with the beta.

>What OS levels have you coded against with the Beta?

I've coded against 5.2. Obviously it will work against 5.3, I don't know
about 5.1 and earlier. My guess would be that 5.1 requires PTFs and
earlier is problematic, but I'm just guessing.

Are there any significant problems or limitations with the Beta?

Again I have to ask, what version of the OS does the 400 need to be at
for these to work?  What OS levels have you coded against with the Beta?

Thanks,
