[ICOM] Icom 756 PRO w/Dxbase 6 Trial Issue

[Larry L. Ravlin]

It doesn't seem reasonable that it would be turned off for the trial
version.  Why delete something if the trial is only going to last a certain
amount of time anyway?  Wouldn't you want people to run the full version to
see how good it is?????
