Upgrade problem fixed
Some systems were unable to install the free RTG Bills and RTG Timer upgrades. The solution is to use RTG Upgrade V2.09.
Upgrade category added to Knowledge Base
The RTG Bills Knowledge Base now has a category for questions about upgrades.
Who uses RTG Bills?
Would you like to know who uses RTG Bills? We've created a page of links to the Web sites of some of our customers.
Web site navigation
We've added the box on the left side of the page to make it easier to move around our Web site. Previously the only links were at the bottom of each page, so you had to scroll down to the bottom to click them.

RTG Timer HE installation problem
We've corrected a flaw in the installation program for RTG Timer HE, our program for fee and expense entry on Palm-compatible handheld computers. This flaw caused the installation program to appear to work, but some of the software was installed in the wrong location. The problem is now fixed in both the full program and the free demo.
Before you try RTG Timer HE, be sure to upgrade RTG Bills and RTG Timer to Version 2.06. You'll find upgrade information on the Support page.

New reports
We've added a new report to RTG Reports: Matter Aging by Billing Timekeeper. The Billing Timekeeper in RTG Bills is what some law firms call the billing attorney or the responsible attorney. It's the person who is responsible for getting the client to pay their bills.
The new report prints a separate section for every Billing Timekeeper, showing the current and past due amounts for each of their matters. A total is calculated that includes all the matters for the timekeeper.
After you download and install RTG Reports, choose Reports, More Reports in RTG Bills.
You'll find even more reports on the new Custom Reports page. Here you'll find reports that you can add to RTG Bills, RTG Timer, and RTG Reports.
