Re: Update - humor me...


Hey Muppet, I am not trying to be difficult. I simply have no idea what to
do with that 8 mb file once I get it. I have no idea what GUI8.iup means, or
what to do with the file after it's unzipped. I am not a computer programmer
and have no concept of how my software is constructed. Nor should I be
expected to know those things.

BTW, CB has been trying to email me with a patch but they say the message
has been bouncing back to them. I gave them my gmail address but they're
probably gone for the day.

As usual when I complain about their bugs or ask for fixes, and the problem
does not get resolved, people in this newsgroup begins to blame me for being
difficult.

I am not being difficult. I am simply expecting a level of performance and
competence for my money. I do not have a Sinclair Z100 vintage 1983
computer. I have a standard windows box with a standard configuration. The
only programs that ever give me problems from one generation to the next are
CB applications.

With every single problem, there is always some excuse, some reason that is
my fault. A couple of years ago CB 7 was behaving badly so I purchased CB 8,
which did not work properly with WindowsXP. I turned off System Restore. At
the time you guys were saying it was my fault, that I was being difficult.
Nobody had ever heard of this problem. Then -- lo and behold -- CB came out
with a patch for this very problem.

Then I purchased CB 9 because of its media capabilities, and soon
discovered, a few months ago, that 512 MB was too little RAM for it to
operate properly. So I purchased more ram, and now there's evidently TOO
MUCH RAM for Shredder 7.

I have indeed seen worse programs than these, but never successive versions
of basically the same software, the same UIs, where each fail so miserably
to work with standard computing equipment.
