Subject: Re: Edward
Mendelson on Tamedos
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.

you may prefer to experiment with the
