John might not say so, but that was him. He was talking specifically
about Windows 3.1 versus Windows NT 3.5, and he based what he said on
what Brad Peebler told him. Not to put words in his mouth, but I think
he and I share some concern that NewTek isn't being as clear as they
could be about things like this.
Buyers should know that with the LW 4.0 "pre-release," they may be
embarking on a bit of an adventure, and they should weigh carefully the
sources of any information they get. It makes a difference whether
it's Stuart or JG, as opposed to any old user (me, for instance).
The problem is the haste with which 4.0 was "pre-released." NewTek's
now in the position of not having nailed down some basic stuff, like
how to install the program on different Windows versions (there are
about 200,000 copies of Windows 95 floating around, but I doubt the
installation program or any documentation will address it) and how to
explain what's in the package customers receive (at least one person
has reported to the newsgroup, for example, that tech support told him
the Win32s libraries aren't included, which, true or false, is absurd).
I promise I'll get this out of my system real soon now.
