It was his arrogant attitude I objected to. Many of our discussions here are about small differences between programs. We are interested in this. It is FOR THE SAKE OF the smaller programmers that I became angry. Now, it is too late to advise people to get the full version of hiarcs 6 instead of the engine. Now hiarcs 7 is out, and supposedly will not be released as an engine. Ultimately, CB will not be harmed, just as bugs in Microsoft Word did not keep it from crushing WordPerfect. That hiarcs 6 lost one sale in my case, did happen in the real world.
