Forgot to say, There was a bug in one earlier version where it would fail if
you tried to import a catalog to another machine that had identical folder
structure with copies of the originals too. That is fixed but why wouldn't
you upgrade to 3.5 on both machines as good practice anyway. You can copy
the upgrade if you have downloaded it once and it is a full install. But
then I'm sure that you knew that.

Cheers
Geoff
