        Notes:
        (*1) The current plan is to do a native GUI for CSSDIR Win Pro/EPro
        in 2007. However we can not make any guarantees to IF and WHEN a native GUI 
        version will ship. If possible we will make the GUI version available to 
        today's Win Pro/EPro customers via free download but if setting up free 
        downloads is not practical, css will have to request customer pay a 
        nominal fee for handling. If native GUI must be physically shipped it 
        will be provided to today's Win Pro/EPro customers for a nominal 
        handling cost (probably less than $10 excluding shipping).
        
        
        (*2) email support within reason will be responded too.
        (*3) email support within reason will be responded too and the EPro 
            version will have top priority over other licenses. EPro
            also contains limited phone support, additional time for EPro
            may also be purchased.
        
        (*4) power wildcards option /Wc: are also limited by max length of /Wc: string.
             Currently that value at the time of this writing is set to 255 characters.
             The EPro version maybe more or less than range specified due to
             this max length string limitation.
