NOTE:
We are hearing from many successful installations and use since the launch of the MPEC Sort Application.
However, if you are having difficulty such as described below, please let us know.  Out of the many installations that I am aware of, two have reported the following:

" I see the MPEC Data sort menu window with the autoimport and manual paste MPECs buttons.  When I click the Auto import button I get the little window "import" with a message "Trying to retrieve data from MPECs. 

Then an error message window comes up the the message:
an error has occured"
 System.Argument.Exception: Argument 'Length' must be greater or equal to zero.
at Microsoft. Visual Basic.Strings.Md(string str, Int32, Int32 Length)
at MPCSort.Import.GetMPECData(String MPEC)
"

So, if you see this message, do not panic; Keith is aware of it and believes that it is simply a correction to one line carried over from the beta program of MPEC Sort.

Thanks to all of you who have written.

Actually, this error appears to be caused when there are no circulars selected under the program options window (ctrl + O). If you see this error while doing the auto import, then please ensure that you have at least 1 of the circulars selected in the options window.
