Looks like SlideManager has some competition! Anybody seen the add in the latest CADalyst for SLD/Librarian from Nuendorf Systems (Page 67 I think)? Appears to have much the same functions as SlideManger (No support for Herc or 8514 though, and no .DXF facility or slide version conversion, at least not mentioned in their add) and sells for $200! Anybody seen this program? Has it got anything that makes it worth $175 more than SlideManager? Any comments? Any Hope?

How can anything that can't do DXF and is priced as shareware, compete? I haven't seen the program, but after ON-Line today runs your add, they won't stand a chance! <grin> Jamie

Sending a copy to CADalyst as well… Maybe I can get them to do a review! Gonna try to get some more publicity for this thing and see if it can compete with the "big guys"! Thanks for the good word <grin>!

Look at what has come from this little adventure into C, imagine if you did this full time??? Have you gone down the ACAD BBS list and planted SLDMGR in other soils? You could even put some slides in with it. Perhaps I will start the ball rolling. Putting slides on the forum. This way people without AutoCAD, Shade and Sketch can play with your program.

I dropped it on a couple of boards… I should do more of that. I also thought of throwing in a slide or two but decided the .ARC was a big enough file to download already. I'll reconsider that though so that people can get it up and running right out of the package without have to go fire up that big old CAD program again… Maybe just one slide – a logo type thing or something… Good ideas Jamie, thanks!

If your really serious about the other BBS why not send them a disk with a the stuff on it. I keep all the uploads on our BBS offline until I have a chance to check the even if i Think I know who u/l'ed them. Besides the cost of a disk and the mail would be cheaper and in our case get you out to the world much faster because I could be surer of where it came from. Just so you know we have caught a couple of Trojan Horse being uploaded to our BBS one of them came in looking like an upload from a person whom I'd seen on CIS but who had never signed on our system before and who was as shocked about it as I was.

As a fellow sysop (The ToolBox 617-364-2474), our trojan horse experiance is quite different. We test everything as well but have never found any damaging programs (quit a few that didn't work though). I detest the hassle of mailing – I'd much rather upload. To me, it's a much more direct means of transfering information. In fact, I'll try to log onto your BBS one day soon and send you SlideManager! Thanks for the comments! >>> John <<<

John, sounds like a great excuse to call all around the country and log-on to a bunch of BBS and see how the work. Down here we have some very unfunny people who are fairly serious about seeing how much damage they can cause as well as being reasonably good programmmers. Please feel free to call anytime (619) 697-9840 but check the listings when you log-on as I try to keep the lastest version of your program downloaded and on our BBS for the locals. THX.
