[Heathkit] Please Read, Admin Request

[Jim Isbell]

Oh, iI didn't mean easily fixed NOW.  The idiot programmer has already 
collected his money and left the scene I am sure.  But buying software 
that is defective only will encourage him to do it again.  Trapping 
"errors" is part of programming for a competent programmer.  Obviously 
this one was NOT competent or he would have trapped the error.  You have 
the finished software now so its too late to change it. But you could 
get better software next time by refusing to do business with the 
charlatans.
