[Fmpro] need help for client - DP 5.1.2 and East West/NI

[David Van Tieghem]

EW Silver works fine for me with DP 5.12 on my PowerBook G4,
but I'm not on an Intel machine, so I can't say if that's where the
issue lies.  I don't recall seeing this issue coming up on the
MOTU mailing list, though - seems like there would have
been a lot of talk about it...

Would you like me to post this on that list and see what
others say?
