First, as a long-time programmer and software tester (several decades
ago!) I love Legacy and am astounded with what its developers have been
able to accomplish with the software.
Secondly, the point about 'human factors' is well taken. At IBM new PC
software was usually run through what we called 'Usability Labs'. Both
the software itself and the associated manuals were tested with
volunteers /unassociated/ with the product development. Almost always,
problems were found.
Probably, the modern short (revenue centric) development cycle would
have trouble getting approval for an activity of this type. Note that
even beta testers don't realize that they have biases in evaluating a
product that they have been involved with.
In any case, I wish the Legacy developers well and I hope that they
continue producing high-value, low-cost software.

Barton, I feel the same way about finding a lot of things in Legacy.
I don't think you are alone.
I would suggest they they bring in an IT-Human-Factors engineer or
whatever they call them today.

Where in Legacy is the report that shows two people's descent
