If you've installed this latest ver 10.2 build 51 has Anderson solved
the problem of two instances of Avant.exe starting up sometimes???

This can be seen in Task Manager after Avant's been running for a
while and is triggered by something, but I'm not sure what.

The problem was introduced in about v10.2.30 and all the releases
since haven't fixed it.
