Somebody said:
Let's face it. A lot of shareware is garbage. Red Ryder may be an exception,
but I doubt it. I have seen many postings on the net and BBS's that enumerate
the bugs to be found.

Let's keep the person's name anonymous.
BUT Red Ryder is one of the finest programs available on the Mac. When I say
Red Ryder I mean version 10.0 and up.
It isatisfying to see that some of the finest Mac programs come from authors
with shareware background: SuiteCase, PowerStation, Red Ryder, DiskTop,
QuicKeys, Pyro, Acta are I guess the BEST ones in this category.
As far as Red Ryder goes it is the BEST communication program, though some
VersaTerm fans might dispute this statement. But MacTerminal and the others
are way behind. Of course, I just know the most popular programs, and there
could be some even better but less known ones availbale.
BUT Red Ryder still isn't perfect. For instance, I can't get the VT 100
cursor work on our VAX or CMS.
