There are some improvements that could be made and a person can suggest them to the developer. That said the program is very inexpensive and you get unlimited updates at no extra cost. There have been updates over the years since I purchased it in 2003 to me this program works well for my needs, as for the dates they likely were intended for use here in the states. Make Kent aware of the dates for international use and any other problems, he always answers any questions I have ever asked him.
