Yeah, I know. Sorry. I have a copy of W****** running under vmware so  
I'm going to try it out.

Vmware is free, and you may have a derivative Windows license due to  
purchasing a machine.

It's possible that in the future this data might be used to catch last- 
minute schedule changes, or automatically extend a recording event if  
the program goes overtime, but I'm just passing along the information  
I received.
