Would it be unreasonable to ask that these help files also be accessible if we own the old Add-on 14 (Menswear) and/or Dress Shop Pro? One of the selling points of Pro was that it included Mens sizing charts -- and I would like to be able to select "Man" as well as Doll or Woman on the full chart.

Just curious if those options will be made available.

I am also curious why the zipper help files (esp. the centered, lapped, and invisible) are now available with Menswear Collection when those zippers are used all the time in Women's wear. I can understand the fly front but really that's a unisex application as well.

Development is expensive. If the company does not charge for the development that it does, then it will have to stop doing it.

Livingsoft can continue to sell exactly what it has now and get rid of the development staff. Ongoing sales of old product to new customers covers the cost of production, shipping, customer support, bookkeeping, accounting, sales and marketing. But, that's it. It does not cover the costs of new pattern development, nor programming. If we are to add new features, options, and instructional materials, we must charge for these additions to the product. Simple fact of business life of a firm that has neither profits or financial reserves.

Gayle: I think there is just a general improving all the way around, espeically in the help menu files.
