Updated A5Doc Available
An updated version of A5Doc v6 is available at www.partec.net/a5doc/download.htm. This link also shows the release notes. The build fixes an incompatibility with Alpha Five v5 and adds two new features to layout reports.

A5Doc is an add-on application for Alpha Five that documents all control panel objects in an Alpha Five database. A5Doc v6 works with both Alpha Five v5 and Alpha Five v6. The documentation that is created can be printed and/or searched.

For those that have not purchased A5Doc, a trial period is offered when the download is installed, and a license key can be purchased from Alpha Software here.

Questions about A5Doc can be sent to bill@partec.net.
