[nbos] Skwyre Preview Edition now available!

[Mike Oliver]

Right, Ed. I guess my problem with the jpeg file must have been a hiccup 
- I'll try again and I've found the PNG file issue was just one of 
impatience on my part.

I made the wrong assumption about FM8 files but the fact that we'll be 
able to send direct is going to be a big plus. I'm not that bothered 
about my old CC3 files I can easily re-do them in FM8 if necessary.

I showed my eldest grandson the Skwyre video and he can't wait to get 
his own copy of the software!

Cheers,

Mike
