- I've been reporting this bug at least 3 (three!) times during 2.0 beta
- testing phase. One time I got the message that it is fixed and went into rom
- nevertheless. For me, this is one of the best examples how the bug-reports
- from Europe get attention in West Chester and why it is absolutely necessary
- to have a feedback on posted bug-reports. Sorry, but i'm still very angry
- about this, because after having released a new version of our program that
- does now version checking, you fixed the bug and we have do deliver an
- update now once more. In the niche market 'Amiga' the costs for such actions
- are incredible and you guys in WC should do all to avoid things that hurt
- your baby.
