In addition to poor documentation, I have three problems:

	1.  The documentation states that there are stacks included
		in the "Ideas" section of the ControlRoom.
		There aren't.

		It says to ring their BBS.  Fat lot of good that'll
		do if you don't have a modem.

	2.  Everytime I try to use the program disk by opening a stack,
		then closing one, a requestor says the disk is full.
		So what?  I'm not changing a thing.  It will not even
		cancel...so it hangs.

	3.  You're supposed to add:
		ASSIGN ULTRA: DH0:
		
		to your startup_sequence.  I did, then rebooted.
		It hung.  Nice.

	
I am going to see if I can return it, but I am so disappointed with this
supposedly "promising" product, that I will not consider it again.  It
is typical of too much Amiga software with erratic, poor standards.

This is another advantage of the Mac world ...S/W standards are higher.
No, I don't own one.  But it seems to me that you can have all the potential
power in the world, but if you can't use it well, it's effectively useless.
(or greatly diminished)

This is not the first program of such poor quality that I have encountered.
Just another one, and another,...
