Leo, unfortunately, the 'free' portion of AFP doesn't allow a lot of the
nifty things that AFP can do.  I'm exploring this now, and creating fancy
pages without using DDS and changing your application requires AFP
Utilities.

However, if your application just requires front (and back) overlays, the
free product will work fine.

I wish I'd read the manual quicker!  (:
