Canadian Users / Evoy & Associates and short cut instructions
For our Canadian readers, the short cut noted above from Evoy & Associates will no longer apply. As of 31 Jan 2015 the owner of Evoy & Associates has retired -- we all get there eventually -- hopefully sooner rather than later!
So Canadian users will need to follow the same instructions noted earlier in the above article.
Please note we're not sure who will be taking over Canadian technical support or distribution and recommend folks contact Engineered Software (www.engsw.com) for details in that regard
We congratulate and thank Evoy & Associates for a great run and their dedication and support to the PowerCADD community. Here's hoping that retirement is everything we've heard it's cracked up to be!
