Peter & Dave,

I have not personally used microEngineering Labs BASIC language, but I
have used their assembler.  After finding the documentation severly
misleading and ambiguous, I wrote to them to ask a few questions and give
a few suggestions.

Their reply left *A LOT* to be desired.  In a nutshell, they had my money
and they weren't getting enough people howling to make them change a
thing.  I had told this story about a year ago on this list and received
a reply from a person who had purchased their BASIC and he said that the
documentation for it was poorly written but passable.

While taking "third-hand" opinions is always suspect, I *can* testify
first-hand that their attitude toward their customers and their products
leave me cold.  Caveat emptor, non?
