Hair today, gone tomorow, was he dog food?

[CSH-HQ]

I was specfic, in mentioning freeware/shareware.  With this little machine I 
can't download anything, but from what I read the comp.bin was freware.

In General, I was adressing how some list members, have done some little 
speciality software items, and that those never see the light of the public, 
cause the author doesn't want the hassle of this doesn't work on my PC 
complaints.

No, I haven't talked to Tiger Cat to answer, your question.  I have thou run 
some beta testing for folks, and it amazes me how much time it takes to 
refine something into being marketable...  

With what I've spent on chips, and stuff, that didn't work, to find an 
editor for $90 (as I understand it) is cheap.  If their are initial bugs, 
well, that does happen.  Being a business man, and thinking you have it 
right, and then having problems can be frustrating especially when it folks 
just looking that
are complaining.  It sounds, like the demo may need work, but that may or 
maynot be the case with the actual editor.  

If Tiger is who I think it is, I have used some of the stuff, and it was 
fine.  But, when I get home, I'll probably buy an editor, and see what happens.
