First, in the defensive mode...
We spend a good deal of our day supporting chess software; I am
not quite sure that the phrase "canned response" is fair. Sometimes
the answers HAVE to come from the programmers because there is no
way that anyone else can solve some problems except him.

Now, the response,
When we cannot solve a problem, we call upon the programmer to get
involved. According to the response I received yesterday, Mark is
aware of the problem and is working on it. We were told that as
soon as he has an answer, we will have it. If you have been
communicating directly with Mark, then you know exactly what we
are told when we ask for support.

What can we do?
Generally, we do not refund money for software, but, conversely,
we do guaranty that we will make software work or we WILL refund.
Anyone who purchased Hiarcs 7 from us and has asked us for support
and still cannot get it to work, may certainly return it to us
for a refund. We do the best we can; most of the time that is
good enough; occasionally it is not.
