Emax

Hi there,

I think part of the problem is that it's not very clear that EMXP needs to
be specifically licensed for use with OmniFlop. I think it's caused by the
reliance of EMXP on OmniFlop and the rather obscure licensing procedures of
the latter...

I consider myself pretty clued-up, but I had the same issues as CS.

I'm not 'blaming' any particular app/instructions, but the number of people
asking the same question does tend to suggest that the installation process
is not all that explicit.

Cheers,

Mike.
