Alan Altmark: >>discussing the technical aspects of the product I think that technical issue is very proper to this forum. All this forum is technical question and answer. I never wrote to this forum how to specify MFNetDisk statements and if I wrote one time or two that was a mistake.
Maybe mention my product name a lot, is a little improper, but because it is a free product and the number of new users and the feedback I received, make me feel very welcome in this forum so I mention the name without any limitation. Beside this forum and sometime Hercules forum I did not try to publish my product and the true is that I do not know how to do it. Developing advance technical issue make me proud and happy and it makes me feel that I like to share with this forum my pogress with the product and the way I implement it. I know that I am not aware to what is acceptable in forum and what is not. I am spontaneous man. Example is telling about "living in Ashdod" which this forum is not the right place to write about. The only problem I have is that no many people support what ED Gould wrote against this product. I receive privately many feed backs which support my posting and all of them. They like what I post to this forum. I wish I could know for sure what posts are acceptable and what are no. I like the technical posts. About advancing my product, it is already well known everywhere. I think that most of the MF system programmers heard about my product. >>Rest in sleep. I love this statement and I am happy to share it with you.
