Oh I have.  I think Frank must have contracted IBM doc writers to write
it.  If I have to explain that to you, never mind. :)

Wrong answer.  It is totally unprofessional to use hole punched 720K disks
to ship software.  They have been shown time and again to be unreliable and
subject to data loss after a while.  If it were a $5 shareware disk I could 
see it, but we're talking about about a product that costs over $100. He
can afford the HD disks.

But you see, Frank is notorious for ignoring users' / sysops' requests for
enhancements.  He adds to it what HE wants.  Even on the software's 
"mother" board, youre lucky if you can even get an answer out of him.

>BTW, if it "sucked" so terribly - why did you purchase it??????

Because, as I said, from the user's standpoint it is a decent piece of
software.  Very user-friendly.  But once I became an SL sysop, I
realized how sorely it was lacking.

BTW, I never meant to flame any particular person in this thread.  My 
harsh language is directed to SL software, not to any person in this
newsgroup.  And to the person who whined to me in email and sent copies
of my "foul language" to my postmaster, all I can say is -- suck eggs, 
get salmonella, die. :)
