Blake will be busy with Baby Ellman ver 2.0 (BE20). BE20 is due to be released Dec 1 or 2nd (way before Windows 2000). BE20 has been 9 months in the planning and we expect the new version to be released according to schedule and be filled with all sorts of new features (including some undocumented ones).

I will be with Cathy having a baby tomorrow. I expect to be out of the office the rest of the week busy with new baby stuff. If there is anything important please talk to your manager. I should be back in the office early next week. I will be checking my email and voice mail every few days. I'll let everyone know once the baby is born.

Thanks, Blake Ellman

So does that mean that Baby Ellman ver 1.0 is being replaced?

I think you can have both versions installed in the same house. We have 3 versions currently running at home. Check the readme.txt notes.

What about the compatibility between the two? There's bound to be some conflicts...

With 4 different versions in my house, they all eventually causes a major Dr. Watson, then eventually a Blue screen of death, then we uninstalled 3 of them, gradually over the course of 2 or 3 years, and the blue screening disapeared. Also, applying the latest service pack helped a little bit. Please refer to article QKB3812821 on http://support.microsoft.com for help and alternative solutions.
