I FINALLY received my documentation for UULINK.  After almost 2 years of
using it, I find that I really did not know how most of it worked.  I had
a whole set of batch files to make life easier.  Now I find that the vast
majority of them were not needed.  All I needed was the right command line
options to do what I wanted.

Thanks Lauren.  The documentation REALLY helps.  The only thing I wonder
about is would I have got the documentation if I had not flamed your
product?  The timing seems just too coincidental to me.  Did you send
all your users documentation or just the ones that complained?

The documentation is a 118 page "perfect bound" book.  Along with 4 pages
of errata.  The documentation explains things like the difference between
the -s and the -S option for uu.exe.  I previously had a batch file to
do what -S does because I didn't know that it existed.

I still think that $335 is a bit high for the package.  But I feal a lot
better about it now that I FINALLY got some documentation.

I never knew that it would automatically append your signature file.
In the phone converstions with Lauren that never came up.  I am glad that
it does that.  Makes life a lot easier.

However, I would be very, very hesitant before ever buying another
product from Vortex Technology again.  Before I do, I would ask for
a copy of the documentation FIRST.  Then after I have that in hand, I
would see if the product did what I needed.
