Tim, you don't leave me much room for discussion ("end of story")! ;-)
I will disagree quickly and then go away. There are a lot of "silent"
reflectors - e.g. the RITTY (K6STI) reflector and the WJ2O reflector - It's
not because the programs are that good! The StarBand users groups are 95%
vehement complaints, but I use it everyday and it's everything they
advertised - nothing but great. They've sold tens of thousands and it only
takes a few dissatisfied users vs the silent majority to jam up a reflector
or users group with negatives. The only "silent" reflector I am aware of is
the Alpha - darn satisfied bunch! I don't monitor the other contesting
program reflectors becasue DOS will be dead very soon. Well almost. BTW, I
worked a guy the other day using a Commodore 64, but I'm not going there.
People have complained about the WL HELP file, but most have not printed it
and read it through.
If you don't try WL, I think you are really missing something. And it's
different for old timers to STAY with DOS programs, but it seems a shame for
NEW people to start out with it's limitations. Good luck with your DOS
programs Tim. I still want to work you! 73
