Having a "Bad Hair Day" I see!

"Ciderpress Not Working In Windows 7" is almost FAR TOO MELODRAMATIC a
title for me!

The ciderpress source is readily available and also several of us have
the development environment installed on our home machines. I for one
can build a new version anytime I want.

David Schmidt made the last changes with Andy McFadden.

But there is no reason why you can't just fix the problem yourself
then submit the fix if you are impatient and calling things a "black
hole".

And as far as using Ciderpress... there is a relatively small number
of people using the Apple II on this planet so don't be surprised when
you get some oddball problem. Surely you are among the few!

One thing for sure... I haven't the time to look at this especially
since a Windows 7 bug has a pretty low priority to me but David
Schmidt has a kinder heart than me and also he's probably a more
efficient programmer so I suggest you ask him (or Andy or Nick
Westgate) but I also suggest you try being a little nicer with this
whole business of your "enititlement" to a fix for your problem.
Please consider what have you done for the Apple II online community
to make it a better place lately and go from there.

Also remember that Ciderpress is compiled under Visual Studio 6 which
uses older libraries.

Bye.
