Hm, seems to be the same around the world ... we had this first some
months ago, and since then, every three-four weeks ... ;-)

For the comparison have a look at their webpage (www.protel.com) and
look for some documents which list a number of features of DXP2004
which are not available in 99SE. They show this as a kind of "field
test" with their own engineers.
I received the printed version of this but at the moment can't
remember the document's title.

For a "hands-on" comparison just tell them to send you the demo CD
install it and work with it! But MAKE A BACKUP of all your 99SE
design files because AFAIK the file format has changed completely!
