MicroShield 5.05 User Interface Bugs

["Ralph E. Wild" <rewild@ATTGLOBAL.NET>]

The MicroShield program is full of all sorts of "gotcha"s regarding 

undocumented restrictions on the length of strings entered into many of 

its input fields.  For example, the input fields for "configuration" 

accept more characters than the program can deal with.  The custom 

material tool does not appear to have restrictions on the number of 

files in a directory but MicroShield itself will crash if you try to 

access the directory specified in the configuration if there are more 

than about 20 custom material files in that directory.



I have apparently now encountered a bug involving the number of 

characters in the "header" information in custom material files.  Can 

any one tell me the maximum number of characters that can be entered in 

the "Name" and "Description" fields of a custom material file?  It is 

obviously less than the fields will accept.



I am posting here out of desperation.  Over a period of several years, 

my requests for registration with their User's Group have been ignored, 

not rejected, ignored.  I need to work through the weekend to finish 

some work and am at a dead standstill.  Help!
