You might want to wait on getting the PIV Editor. My understanding is that there is a legal case going on about both the origins of the editor, and the setup of the company. They have been acused of stealing the Source Code to Amilink to make there editor (RGB has said that they have already done a search and seizure of the programing computer and found the words AmiLink in the code). Also aparntly the company is a subsidirary of Pride International, A Non-Profit corporation with the purpose of educating prisoners. This information came to me via a News Release from RGB (makers of Amilink) and from Pride (the makers of PIV). Pride says there is not a problem, and nothing will happen, on the other hand RGB is gloating that Pride will be out of bussiness within 3-4 weeks. I personally have been holding off on the Pride to see how things blow over, the system looks good, but there are still features that need to be added/fixed, and if there not around that wont happen.
