I sadly must report that I've gotten the runaround at Emerald. I
ordered SaxonScript and have never been able to get it to work on TWO
very differently configured systems — one a plain vanilla A500 with
4 megs of RAM and the other an '030-equipped A2000HD. I'm pretty sure
I installed SS correctly, though the install routine is rather odd. I
spent much time on several phone calls to the guy at Emerald and he
was always understanding and helpful. We concluded on three different
occasions that perhaps my disks were bad and that he'd see that I got
a fresh disk to try again. Never, ever have I seen that disk in my
mailbox, even after months of phoning and faxing and renewed
reassurances from Emerald that it would be on its way. I've invested
$100 in a package that simply won't function form me (a requester
always pops up when I try to print to the active PSC: device,
insisting that the interpreter is unavailable).
Meanwhile, though, I've gotten a fat bill from some customs
clearinghouse on the NY-Canadian border for additional Canadian
customs fees for the package, which of course doesn't work. I may end
up disputing this bill with my credit card company. I dunno. I just
haven't had these kinds of problems very often and that's why I would
caution anyone against SaxonScript. Which is really too bad, because
we really need it, or something like it.
It's a miracle these guys are still in business. Sounds like a great
product! Given the circumstances, wish I didn't have a copy.
