 * I have tested with the free version, and it is very impressive. For as complex
   an operation as this plugin is intended (lots of variables and variation), it
   does it well.
 * This is the scenario that I have, and I would like to know if the paid version
   will do it (I might have been able to dig the answer out of the free version,
   but it wasn’t clearly evident):
 * – Client will FTP a CSV file to my server (it will contain a member list)
    – 
   I would like to import it on a SCHEDULE (say once per hour) – I would like to
   UPDATE existing posts for changes (not create new ones) (the csv file WOULD contain
   a unique key field)
 * Can this be done with the plugin?
 * Second question – as an option, instead of creating INDIVIDUAL posts for each
   line item in the CSV file, can it create ONE post with ALL of the CSV data?
    
   The reason I ask this, is that it might be easier to retrieve one post, versus
   a few hundred to display the entire member list…
 * Very nice plugin. Keep the faith and keep it going. There are no others out there
   that can do what this one does…
