Re: Edward Mendelson on Tamedos

["M.W. Poirier" poirmw@xxxxxxxx]

 It is true that Tame can be quite useful, but it has been the
 experience of some of us that not all versions of the programme
 work well, and what is worse is the fact that the author of
 the programme does not describe the installation process well,
 and is not very helpful when it comes to giving advice when
 things go wrong. If you can stand that, then by all means try
 Tame. When it works well, it works very well, ...and don't
 update a working version when a new version comes out, because
 you may be ruining an excellent setup and replacing it with one
 that is less than desirable.

 Others may have had a different experience with Tame, but that
 has been my experience, and I have to say that I have given up
 on Tame because I cannot get back to my original set up.

 Mr. Mendelson is clearly more knowledgeable in setting up Tame
 than I.

 reservation to all users of WPDOS under Windows NT, 2000, XP, Vista, or
 Windows 7. A 30-day free trial version is available for download, and
 you may prefer to experiment with the program before buying it. After
 installing Tame under Windows XP, I no longer have any reason to run
 WPDOS under Windows 98. (Tame 5.0 and later versions do not run under
 Windows 95, 98, or Me.)
