V2.1 is out (at least here). We have been using it for several
months. Don't know why they won't give it to you down under.

It fixes some, but not all, bugs (see below for an example). V 2.1
works better (faster interface response, some needed shortcuts) than
2.0, however, I still have a list of gripes too long to enumerate
here.

>I'm particularly interested in the experiment size limit,

Not fixed. I lost a critical experiment two weeks ago because of
this. One workaround is to monitor memory usage in the process window
of the task manager and switch to a new experiment when the size gets
above 1 gB.

Of limited use. No drag and drop between folders
