Tomasz, That is not a fair responce..I have said repeatedly that your program is excellent,but IMHO,the manual does not do it justice.having been a Managing Director of equity derivatives at Nomura and SalomonSmith Barney,I have seen enough products and manuals that i feel fairly confident my assessment isnt far off the mark.Your product is excellent.The supporting documentation is not quite there...Thats just my opinion,no disrespect intended
