The release of PC-Convey V6 has been delayed because it has been decided to upgrade the program to Visual Studio rather than just to Visual Basic 6. At this stage it is difficult to predict when this work will be completed as there are a number of upgrade issues that require additional programming. Unfortunately this has also delayed development of our new web site as we concentrate on working through the issues involved with upgrading PC-Convey.

New website coming, with PC-Convey Version 6.
