Is there anybody out there?

We are getting lots of downloads, but no feedback. Please, if you download the product, give us some feedback, positive or negative, so that we can get a feel for what's good or bad or indifferent. It is quite depressing to spend almost a decade developing a product and get pretty much no feedback about it.

Well, I just learned about it by browsing ....

The biggest issues I have are:

1. UTF-16 vs UTF-8.  Unicode (or UTF-16 specifically)
   is somthing that is relegated to NT.  For a huge
   portion of existing code, utf-8 works now - by
   design.  Microsoft made a bug mistake here and I'd
   like to avoid it in the Unix world.  I would be
   happy to have a string class that had 2 interfaces
   and did utf8-utf16 conversions as appropriate - I wrote
   one for a WinCE project I was involved in.

2. Excellent DOCs.  I still have to look at the code but
   the docs covered much of the important stuff, you've
   definitly put alot of thought into how it all hangs
   together.  The documentation by itself is probably
   good reading for all C++ and Java developers.

I'm looking for somthing with alot of the functionality
CIDLib but the Unicode issue is a deal breaker.
