Hi Mark:

Welcome aboard.

>Hi fellow Codemine'rs! I'm glad to see a thread on CM here. I've really only been in email touch with Dave. So far, I've done the tutorials and built a small app. But I've been tryingly waiting for the latest Docs. Though he has almost all of the help file finished, I've been really frustrated that I can't print a hard copy of the codemine70.chm file. But that's due to a MS bug where when printing "all topics and sub-topics" option in a .chm file, in every paragraph or more, words are dropped off of the right margin. So, Dave is working furiously from what I understand to finish the docs and get a hard copy printed. I've asked him to send me a Word doc if at all possible. BTW, I can't understand how the MS .chm help display print option can be buggy since these help files are used by thousands of programs and vendors. I know Dave uses West Wind help builder. Maybe something about the templates he's using or something, I don't know...

Since the CHM help, I rarely look at my crusty old manuals. However, when I first started with Codemine, its fair to say that I had the manual with me quite a lot.

>Albiet, the other frameworks may have more features

Builders and wizards maybe - features, no. Codemine is as feature packed as the rest. Its just more understated. You tend to find what you need, when you need it. Until then, it remains modestly uncomplicated.
