I am a registered user of PokerStat.  I haven't used it for about
three months, and have some questions about it and the new software
called PokerTracker.

PokerStat Questions:
1. Is there an update coming that will support Party and Stars?
2. If so, will it automatically capture and process histories from
these sites like it does with Paradise (I love this feature)?
3. If #2 is coming, will this new version allow playing on tables from
different sites simultaneously?
4. If #1 is true, will it allow different names on different sites (my
Paradise login name was already in use when I signed up for Party and
Stars)?
5 Am I a "lifetime" member now that I have version 2?  I paid for the
software initially, then I had to pay again to upgrade if I'm not
mistaken.

PokerTracker Questions:
1. Does it have an automated feature to request hand histories?
2. Does it have an automated feature to log in to a POP mail server
(like PokerStat)?
3. Does it track multi-table tournament results on Stars?
4. If the answer to any of the above is "no", are these features
planned for future versions?

Questions about both:
1. Do these packages track session statistics?
2. If so, how well do they handle multiple tables at a time?
3. How do they handle hourly win/loss with multiple tables?

Finally, what are your overall impressions of these packages?  How
useful are they compared to, say, tracking sessions on a spreadsheet?

Thanks for any info.
