Hi Razorboy,

I’d stay away from Compusol. The guy behind Compusol doesn’t own the Ecco Pro software; I think he just cobbled together an “installer” for it, and I think he offers consulting. Ecco Pro was owned by Netmanage which sold out to a company in England called Micro Focus. I think Micro Focus was interested only in the networking software; they have no interest in doing anything with Ecco Pro.

The place to go is the ecco_pro (with underscore) Yahoo group - not the “eccopro” group (without the underscore). The ecco_pro group is a very active group and you can get everything you need there - including the actively-developed “Ecco Extension” - without paying anybody. The “eccopro” group is connected with the Compusol guy, and it’s pretty dead.

As an aside, a new version of the Ecco Extension (4.6.5.3) was just released a couple of hours ago!. It is written by a fellow in China who goes by the name of “Slangmgh”. It’s always fun to see what new feature he’s added to the software.
