There are two experimental PalOMoney versions called, in programmer language, "debug" and "release." Release versions do not have the extensive error checking and reporting facilities of the release. Accordingly, we are distributing debug versions to testers during this initial phase. Distributing the Microsoft debug libraries can be done only to qualified testers who accept the Tester's Agreement. See How to Be a PalOMoney Tester.
