Hello Darrel, please allow a simple calculation:
How many DX4WIN user exists? 8.000-10.000 ! >From Version 6 to version 7 = $25.00 If only 4.000 do yearly the update = thats 100.000.- plus all new version they sell ! How many years DX4WIN exists ? ( when you call a man a business man ? ) > As far as I'm aware, they're not making any large profit > off DX4WIN....:-)) > Both of these guys have real jobs and real family commitments. > They set up the mail reflector as a self-help tool, because they knew they'd > never be able to provide 24x7 support, and in general (thanks in great part > to AD1C) it works. Thanks to Jim for his great work - but is it the guy how gets the money? No ! He do most of support for us - alone(!), and the other two guy's ? They busy with counting .... ? > I would agree that there has been no significant functionality changes over > the past few years, but other than a cosmetic update, Why then every year they offer a upgrade for money? Why they not fix bugs like ADIF2 export, main Export function ( manager cant exported), real LotW functions (import/export), label print functions and .... They dont have a ear for customer needs. DX4WIN was state of the art ! They offer only cosmetic - next will comes at Dayton, believe me: Version 8 - (what strange version numbering for inimpressive bug fixing) ... its will be slowly over - It's a great pity ! ( a free translated german saying: .. other mommies has also nice daugthers... ) 73 Chris > -----Urspr?ngliche Nachricht----- > Von: Darrell Earnshaw <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Gesendet: 30.01.07 23:54:00 > An: <[email protected]> > Betreff: Re: [Dx4win] New order! > Chris, et al, > > Just a little clarification, there are only two guys officially supporting > this product.
