When your program is available I make a message about configuration in my webpage. Also good is a little rubric in the webpage of ED or Lex ! I think 5-10 examples are good enough for user which have interest. ... In my opinion ... BTW: I have the same problem with ChessVision. The GUI is very good and I got for 6 months a CD from Microvision for an review. I try ChessVision but I have problems with the configuration files. I will say I am not perfect and I am not a programmer. I have not make a review about ChessVision (in German: schlechtes Gewissen). I think I must have more time but I have not the time :-( Best Frank
