Subj: DCOM survey...
I'm looking forward to version 3.4. Having a way to transfer files
will be a big help. The thing that would be an even greater help
is if you would fix it so that we could use the VAX EDT editor.
Like I said, if you press the keys too fast, garbage appears. For
that reason, I rarely use DCOM. It is also because of this that I
haven't become a registered owner by sending in the fair amount
of $25 (I think).
As for who uses DCOM and where, I'm a student at the University of
New Orleans. Major: Business Administration. Minor: Computer Science.
As for suggestions, I would like to see you include a version of the
Kermit file transfer protocol. Ted Medin modified it so that it would
work with ProDOS. That would be great if you could get together with
him on that.
One other thing that would be nice is if you had a way of putting in
a few phone numbers and then all you had to do is use the arrow keys
to point to the one you want.
While I'm at it, login macros would be nice.
As for the idea of Shareware, I'm not too crazy about it. If you
write a good enough program, which I think you have, you should just
go ahead and charge people.
That's all for me. I hope this helps with whatever questions you are
trying to answer.
As soon as you get the thing fixed to work with EDT, let us know.
I would love to be able to use DCOM all the time.
Thanks,
Steve
