Hate to say it, but I told you so. Irex is abandoned software and you
won't get any help from the author. It's too bad that you paid for the
upgrade, but that's life. Personally, I think its shameful that the
software is abandoned and the author still collects registration money for
it. the best you can do is live with what you have or move on...D'Bridge
is a very good alternative and does more than Irex in the long run.

D'Bridge has its quirks too, but at least there is a live author who deals
with these problems in his support echo. IMO, you can't go wrong with it
and if you're running a BBS, that's also included in the package.
