Yeah, no big deal....I think the way it read in press releases and in

didn't require Max to be installed.  Oh well.  Good release
though......very impressed with the reorder tool being able to resort
things like passes....very nice.  Gator for Max is an interesting
release.  Anyone use it with Max yet?
