Hi Tom,
Thanks for trying.

After doing additional tests, I believe that the error you reported is
caused by missing/wrong configuration entries in Windows registry. I
enhanced the installer so it configures also the Visio 2007, if
installed. This should fix it.

I'm very grateful for any complaints. One can never test a software
under all conditions.

Timers, time constraints and a time constraints consistency check will
be included in next release (July 2009?). I'm currently struggling with
Visio stencils, because not every graphical representation of timers
described in Z.120 can be easily drawn using stencils.

BTW, feature requests are also welcome. Especially those that require
some data processing/conversion or verification/validation algorithms.
The scstudio aims to be calculation tool, not "just" a drawing tool.

> On the other hand, I'd be happy to test things if you wish.

Yes, please. There is a new alpha version that should work under both
Visio 2003 and Visio 2007.
