What are you referring to here. I tend to think it is better for CW too,
but marginally.
Yes, the lack of a windows version was the last straw. I am glad I was not
a life subscriber!
If he came out with a windows version that had all of the functionality of
the dos version, well I would reconsider.
I have complained over and over to him that the lack of a windows version
would kill TRLOG and I think it is only a matter of time. Soon there will
be no machines to run it on.
I also realize that it is a HUGE project to port to Windows. It is one that
I cannot blame him for if he does not want to undertake it. It is very
unlikely that he would make enough to justify his time.
