Well, OK, but it’s an opinion based on things such as their registration awhile back of domain names of their competitor, Pimlico’s DateBk, for example. It could be that they properly licensed Propel, but their past hijinks makes me skeptical and is part of the reason I’ve never purchased any of their products. I’ve tried some of them, but they rarely last more than a day or two before I remove them for being bloated, slow, and overly intrusive. Again, this is only my opinion based on their actions and my experience with their software.

Hi,
hmm – I could enquire with iambic about that!

As for iambic, you can think of the company what you want – but please do not get offensive towards the company. Publicly defamating businesses helps no one; but can get lawsuits brought in against both you and me.

Best regards

Probably because Iambic has a history of being a bunch of sleazeballs and likely ripped off Hobbyist.

@Alex

I used the new “TealScan”, and it said I had two 0 Byte Empty Records, I told it to delete them, and it didn’t change anything. I could run DbFixIt and see if it “sees” anything.

@danceman

I have no idea.

Why is Initiate (http://www.hobbyistsoftware.com/initiate-more.php) and Propel exactly the same software (different skins) but from different developers? Notice the status bar on top, they both have the same icons and colors, the scroll bars are the same, the configuration screen is the same

Hi,

did you try a database check program for your memos? I think there is one, written by the developer of DateBK.

Or you could take Bird and see if their are “strange” (empty, or without content) records in the memo database.
