    exactly. FrontDoor 2.32mL can be said for a professional and can do a lot, 
but requires external programs. For example, he worked for me 10 years ago as a 
multiline for 4x US Robotics Courier and I was NC for the Czech Republic. FDAPX 
is for end point and undemanding. In addition, I think that in Windows 64 bit 
does not even work :-(
