To the authors of HAL



Ahm, just discard all the hooiy that has been wasting bandwidth on
this NG recently. They all seem to have forgotten that rather than
criticising a free product, you first send money supporting it (if you
find the idea worthy of support), THEN complain. They also seem to
have forgotten that this is a beta release, and a beta release
*NATURALLY* does *NOT* have common software included. beta-testers
sometimes get new versions almost daily, depending on the speed of the
programmers, and incusion of stuff that hasn't changed (VBRUN100.DLL
certainly wouldn't have) is a simple waste of time and net bandwidth.
If you think that the authors shouldn't have released it then, please
note that they did put on the boards it was a modified *BETA*. and the
first official version would be out soon. but not when he write the
note. non-official versions means that it assumes some intelligence as
to gathering stuff together (how to use (documentation), and any
common software needed to run it (VBRUN100.DLL). if you somehow have
problems with that, then you should discard any betas and wait for an
official version. Complaining about these things for a beta release is
simple ignorance. Furthermore, any serious development, which HAL
seems to be, on the TI scene should be welcomed with open arms, since
there is no corporate funding to be found here.

please learn manners, all.
