PawPrint.net Forum

This program is really good for ppl who have contacts around the world which most people with email do have.  And for business use too.  It´s just a pity i won´t be recommending it to anyone as there´s no support apparent for it!!  It´s a shame that such a good program gets created and then nothing is done with it, it´s just dropped and not improved or debugged.

I love this program and appreciate the fact that it is offered for free.

I installed beta version 6 a long time ago, I believe it was very soon after the first beta version became available (a couple years ago or so?)

It had some bugs, so I tried the stable version.  I liked version 6 better so I reinstalled it and worked around the bugs.  It took some time and frustration, I´m not extremely knowlegeable, but by exploring the files I was able to get it working exactly as I wanted.

Some of the problems I had was putting in my location (I don´t live any where near a major city), changing the name of clocks (specifically "Sadaam Baghdad", or whatever) and changing a default time zone.  I haven´t had any major bugs.

Unfortunately along with not being a computer expert I also have a short memory.  All I remember off hand is it seems the problems I listed was solved by opening "WTLocMan" in Windows Explorer and playing with it rather than getting it to work from the GUI.

I recently found this forum and see some people have some of the same problems.  I tend to shy away from posting on forums because there are people who are much more experts than I am and, like the creator of Worldtime, my time isn´t unlimited.  

I decided to join this forum though because it has to be frustrating to make a great program available for free after much time and work, and then seemingly get more complaints than thanks.

Also Baldy´s very apt comments sort of shamed me into it.  Don´t expect me to be much help, but I hope I can help a little.

1) This is a PEER TO PEER Support Forum! In other words, if you see a problem listed here which you have overcome / solved, POST YOUR FINDINGS! That way others with the same problem / issue may be able to see the solution.

2) Both World Time and VersaVerter are FREEWARE! - ie the authors receive NO INCOME from these offerings, therefore they CANNOT be expected to spend a lot of time on support.

3) If you have a problem or question, POST IT! - if you have an Answer or solution - POST IT! - if you use the Application(s), VISIT the Forums REGULARLY and post as appropriate - Q or A.

It is ONLY by Users POSTING that Problems, Issues, Bugs etc. are resolved. It is quite evident upon reading through these Forums that MANY of the Users with problems just plain don´t understand Computers in general, and how Freeware works in particular. Thaat in itself is not a problem, the problem comes when people grab the Freeware, do NOT read the instructions, and do NOT support the Freeware by visiting and Posting to the Forums.
