Re: [LCtalk] Re: Lanbox dissatisfaction (Was midi cue triggering)

[Hal Eagar]

I've been watching this discus son and wanting to avoid it.  I don't use 
LCEdit myself, but I like and use the lanbox.  LCEdit seems very hard to 
use, but I have not invested any time with it.

What I use the LanBox for is to talk to DMX devices from PC software, 
and it's super easy to do so.  however it was a chore to figure out how, 
and the complexity of the manual has kept me from even bothering to 
learn to use layers.  But as a programmer I know that a complete manual 
is a huge task, and to be really good has to be written by someone other 
than myself.  I can't help already knowing how the software works.

Basically I totally agree with this supposition.  And yes it would 
probably be economically worthwhile to spend a couple of months making a 
great manual, the product is good enough to warrant spending the time on 
it.
