Re: Release of Fargo
[Prev][Next][Index][Thread]
Why don't you guys stop crying about this already. David is in no way
obglitated to do this project. I believe he is at UCLA, and having gone
there myself, I am sure he is more that a little busy. If you guys need
fargo so badly, write it yourself.
In my opinion, David should license and sell the fruits of his labor. Most
of you have no appreciation for the work that has probably gone into
developing the program; and have even less appreciation when getting it for
free.
A while back I wrote a formatted listing and concordance program that works
for 82's, 83's, and 85's. I had considered posting it until I heard all of
the whining. I don't need that kind of grief, hence, I have not posted it.
