"Show me well written documentation and I'll show you a happy user"

I've been a programmer for 20 years and know well that what I think is obvious is often obscure to the new user of an application.

To be honest, I don't care what the database does, how it links and where everything is located, and that's just the point - with a good tool like EQ Admin, I shouldn't have to know those things - talented people like Windcatcher do the hard work and we all enjoy the benefits.

Like many things, software lives and dies by clear instructions, and if things like this emulator are to appeal to a wider audience than just hardcore people who like to tweak the insides of games, then good documentation is essential.

Just my two pence...

:p Peace.
