Re: Rate It <suggestion>
****** message to minivend-users from "Chris Mueller" <cmueller@polinet.ch> ******
I think that the CD-ROM idea is great. I would not mind paying a
considerable amount for it, considering the many hours that I have spent
trying to figure minivend out (which I am still doing and which I enjoyed
doing).
I fully agree with Barry that what is required now, is a users manual.
Programmers normally should not write a manual, but only advise and assist
(and enjoy the royalties of the result!).
I do not suppose that Barry meant his last sentence to be cynical, but I
would like to state that even if MV was not for free, I would still consider
it great!
Chris
