Importing via .HEAD in V4 Standard and other questions

DBC · Post by **DBC** » Mon Nov 19, 2007 3:39 am

I am currently evaluating MyInfo v4 Standard (apparently it isn't possible to evaluate the Professional version - is this right?).

In previous versions of MI (e.g. v3) I seem to remember that the .HEAD classic outliner importing and exporting features were available, but they seem to have been taken out of the new v4 Standard. Have I got this right?

I mention it because it is a little unusual for hitherto standard features to be removed from a basic version and only included in a more expensive one. Usually it is only new features that are treated in this way. The Help file for the v4 trial does include details of how to import and export .HEAD classic outlines, however, so maybe this is a bug in the current trial program rather than a new policy.

Lastly, I can't find a complete list of MI v4 Pro features on the website. Can anyone give me a list of all the Pro's importing and exporting features, please? Maybe I have missed a detailed comparison between v4 Standard and Professional versions somewhere on the website. If so I'd appreciate some directions

Yes, this is a problem in the Trial version of MyInfo 4 Standard. Import from HEAD format should be there (and will be there in MyInfo 4.01, which will be available today), but the export is limited to the professional edition only.

There is no problem with the removal of a feature from the Standard edition, because we offered a free upgrade to MyInfo 3.x customers to the Pro edition, once they upgrade to MyInfo 4 Standard.

P.S.: You are right about the trial version - you can trial only the Standard edition.

Thanks, Petko. Good to know the .HEAD import function will be in the Standard version. Thanks also for explaining the Milenix policy, which looks perfectly fair to me - though I wish I'd been quicker off the mark!
