3.7 MR3 Comparison to MR2

[rerun_lives]

Greetings All,

I would like to ask some of you experienced PCDMIS users what your comparison of 3.7MR3 vs MR2 is. We are having issues with MR2 still and we were hoping that MR3 would help us solve some issues we've been having. Any Input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Gang!

We had problems with our machine getting lost on proven programs after we updated to MR2 and those problems went away after I updated it to MR3. What sort of issues are you having?

In addition, there were a number of memory and Windows GDI object leaks that were rectified in V4.0, and some of these were rolled back into MR3 to help general stability.
