As for Schedules Direct there are a large number of softwware programs 
which can (and do) access SD. Go to the home page 
(www.schedulesdirect.org) and onn the left you will see a link for 
'Approved  Apps' which takes you to a page listing 46 separate packages.

And while this thread is going this far OT. anyone outside of Canada and 
the US, should take a minute to fill  out the Survey on the 'Surveys' 
page. SD is looking for expressions of interest to expand it's services 
offshore.
