[Avid-L2] Re: Green Bar At Bottom Of Timeline On Symphony

I hope this doesnt come through twice... Yahoo is acting weird.

Anyway, thanks Chris for responding. Bummer that I cant get someoinformation on this system as I am sure they will run into headaches when and if they decide to upgrade to 4.x and higher. The dongle just wont allow it. If you do chat with them again, have them reach out so we can rectify it sooner than later and prevent any downtime.

As for this prelimianry feature, it was added to the dognle code so developers could work with it. That was many years ago. I am sure there are a few others in the code somewhere but the ones I do know of are dongle based. No commands of any kind can open them unless the software is cracked :( which we know people don't do ;)

As for sharing - sorry but there is no way I am opening that kimono.
