Hi Ron:
After reading your reply to my message, I think I'll pass on WriteLog and just
stick with CT !!!
Your demo version doesn't seem to be much of a demo, at least in real terms of
really? being able to use and learn the features of your program.? I would
think that allowing full use of the complete program, but limiting the max.
number of log entries to 50 or 100 or using your callsign and QTH in the setup
would provide the prospective user a fairer chance to make a decision to
switch
to WriteLog.
Also I don't see what Brian's problem with his RITTY copy protection scheme
has
to do with my asking about a WriteLog Demo !!!!?? If one were to read between
the lines, one might get the impression that anyone requesting a demo was
going
to steal your program !!!? FYI, Brian is back in business selling a new
version
of his RITTY program without any problems.
Lastly if you were going to offer a demo, I would think you would try to make
the best show you could to the potential customer and show off your latest
features, rather than offering a non-functional obsolete version.
I've looked at an awful lot of "Logging" programs and rejected them for
lack of
VHF/UHF support.? Guess WriteLog will just get rejected for lack of trying.
Sincerely
