Thanks for the email asking me how my free X1 Search 8 trial is going. The simple answer is that it is not. Or doesn't seem to be.
I downloaded the stub. Which downloaded the program. Which bombed saying it could not close X1. I was not happy. With no way to restart and a 256k 'broadband' connection, I could only hope that there was some resume feature built in.
I started the stub again and went away for a few hours. I came back to a message that X1/8 was already installed.
When I started X1 (it looked awful familiar), I checked help for the version number. Yes, my same old v6.1
I checked the program directory. All 'executable' icons had changed to the new X1/8 style except for the main X1.exe which was still old style and ran old version X1.
This seems to be a bug; X1/8 reports installed but doesn't seem to be?
Any clues?
