Thanks for the post and detailed features list. I was recently reading 
archived posts from the Manager topic in Genie's A2 Roundtable and a Seven 
Hills rep wrote that The Manager 1.5 that is available in Europe is actually 
the Beta version of The Manager v1.1 that was under development for the U.S. 
market. The rep claimed that the 1.1 Beta was near completion but had never 
come up to Seven Hills specifications or quality standards. A programmer who 
does some work on other Seven Hills programs recently said it was his 
understanding that TM 1.1 was 99 percent complete, but a programmer had not 
been found to complete the work on the final 1 percent.

However, I have no firsthand knowledge of the situation. Just thought others 
ight like to hear about what I found concerning the issue in the Genie 
archives.

BTW, one of the most annoying things I found with TM 1.0 is that it is 
incredibly slow when accessing the standard file dialog. I heard that process 
was to be speeded up considerably in TM 1.1. I didn't see that upgraded 
feature on the 1.5 features lists. Is it indeed speeded up, or is it still 
dreadfully slow? (And I'm working on an accelerated GS!)
