RE: MicroShield 5.05 User Interface Bugs
Ralph,
They had a user's group? That is news to me, but I don't think it will be
of much help. I have called a few times to request calification on how some
of the calculations are done, and never received a response. At least it is
not just me.

Subject: MicroShield 5.05 User Interface Bugs
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!
