Thank you,

I am sorry to get back to you so late but i had other things more pressing.

I attempted to find Fotoxx in the software center and it was not there,
even after doing a typed in search. I like the program so I went to the
developer's site and down loaded it.

Once again,

Thank you,

Rich S.
