Re:   Ackerman Digital's Circuit and Pulse programs

  I've just finished evaluating Ackerman Digital's CIRCUIT
and PULSE programs, which are programs written to perform
linear circuit analysis.  The programs are provided in
compiled MBASIC, and they are real dogs!  There is
absolutely NO error checking, and the programs blow-up
even with the examples in the book!  Only about a third
of the software promised in the manuals is provided on the
disk, and the manuals provided are for different
versions of programs than the ones on the disk.

  I'm mentioning this here, because I would hate to see
anyone *screwed* by buying these rip-off programs.
Naturally, source for the programs is NOT provided, so
there is absolutely nothing that the unfortunate user can
do to make the programs work.
