It (DCL) is extremely cryptic to me, and I expect many other people
here, as to what or how I would use DCL(unless I started coding). Does
Escale use this technology? I thought so? Seems like many people use
escale, or would like to if worked a little better...
Anyhow, it's always one of the conflicts of software development as to
whether the rough product (which is usually adequate for the
developers) is worth turning into something user friendly enough for us
dumb end users...
I personally hope that you do continue to think us us!
A dumb end user.
