Pro desktop tool
The Pro tool is no longer available for new users to download, although bug fixes and new features will continue to be issued for existing users at least until the end of 2008. It is expected that all the features of the Pro tool will be transferred to the Advanced tool later in 2008. Polite note to persistent people: Dates for this transition are not available, and I repeat that the current Pro tool will not be made available to new users.
