David,

I am really afraid you were annoyed by my post. (If you feel annoyed by =
posts on this list, you are free to leave, too).
I am used to criticize to help make things better. I am really able to =
unsubscribe from a list and if I thought this list was unuseful, I would =
be already out.
Rather than inviting me (and others) to leave, please focus on the =
message I silently conveyed: "there are people very interested in the =
way Dev-C++ works, but the relative lack of support makes things hard =
for the beginners of us".
If I downloaded Dev-C++ 1.0, or 0.9, I would expect it to be a product =
in its initial life. The current version being 5beta, I was frankly =
expecting to find more documentation, more examples, more information on =
its website.
But you should not confuse my message with my opinion regarding Dev-C++. =
It is great. When I saw there was a frontend for mingw written in =
delphi, open source (and open-minded), I just thought, 'thrilling, =
great!'.
>Is this what you expect???
>User:

>Tech support:
>"Sure here it is ....."
I am not used to this kind of thing. I am used to find WHOLE LOADS of =
information about anything on the web, *including* information about =
microsoft products. With DevC++, my search experience was really =
different and I thought it could be interesting to the community to know =
why it was like that.
>If this is what you expect you are in the wrong field
I usually expect a positive response to critics, but with you, I sure =
seem to be in the wrong field. That is why I sincerely apologize for =
writing something so unbearable for you.
Thank you again,
Marcantonio
