Hi Chris,

I am unsure why you had this experience, but I would like to investigate it
so it does not happen again.  Can you please provide your company name and
the person who corresponded with you, so I may follow up with this.

I had to jump through hoops to get a copy, too.
When I finally did get it, the timing wasn't of my choosing, & the 
licence was, iirc, quite short, so not much was done with it.

An eval copy should be easy to obtain - should come on every CD you send 
me, or should be easy to find on the web. I found a page to order a 
'demo cd' (pc) but I don't think that's the same thing.

90 or 180 days evaluation should be time enough to get real apps up & 
used, which provides far more leverage to buy the product.

Now we're headed down other roads, so PH & PH web have lost preferred 
supplier status, and need to do a lot of work to recover, and be 
price/performance competitive too.

Chris
