>2) We have issued NimPro 1.2 (the previous version was NimPro 1.1)

>    * Complete support for network activation, not just independent

>    * Works smoothly with a remotely activated DBT.
>    * Support for custom installations on any drive, not just the 
> default drive (C:).

> .dxp files for DBT.
>    * Improvements to background image processing and display, with 
> better handling of images with bad data.

> by a more useful combination of a character counter, word counter, 
> and estimator of the number of braille pages in the selected text.
>    * Clearer and more consistent font display.
>    * This release is necessary for NimPro to recognize the latest 
> DBT release, DBT 11.2.
