Hi Mark!

My .02:

I assume the guy is talking about ECSW here right?  Obviously his comments
are not valid for the DOS version.

Notwithstanding that he is a bit obnoxious and condescending, I think he may
have a point.  There are a lot of people out there who have trouble
installing software.  You might consider making a windows-like install
program that will deal with long directory names.  Also, converting the docs
to Microsoft Word document for the short term is probably a good idea.
Ultimately, the docs should probably be ported into a standard windows help
file that one might find under the help menu.

As much as I'd rather you keep working in the direction you have been, a
little dress-up in the install, and help file, would probably raise the
overall initial impression a bit.

Cheers!

Please do NOT respond to him, as I did not get his permission.

BTW, The install directions ARE in the README.TXT (I downloaded
it and checked), and I think he ran SETUP instead of INSTALL.

Should I rename *.DOC to *.TXT to avoid various editors from
assuming a format other than plain text ?

Thanks.
