"We were faced with a situation where we needed to present our existing RTF data on a web page. One of our concerns was how big the software download was going to be as some of our customers are on slow modems. Your product addressed many of our concerns. ...None of the above considerations however convinced us to go with your product as much as your excellent support! ...All in all we love your OCX!!"
