The color codeing scheme needs to be re designed to reflect the programs that will run on multiple platforms. A LINUX visitor to the site will get the impression that only the "green" coded listings will run on LINUX - and they are a precious few. As of this posting it appears to me that six (6) of the first fourteen (14) postings will run on LINUX - none of these listings have any color green color code to indicate that they will run on LINUX. And only one or two have any indication in the written description that they will run on LINUX. The color coding scheme needs to be revised - perhaps with some type of rainbow bar. The color code bar can be updated upon reports from users that the code works on LINUX or other operating systems. > we've had requests to add a check box to select > DOS or Windows or Linux or any combination, > but I didn't feel it was that useful, since many of the > programs labelled as DOS will actually work on 2 or > 3 platforms, not just DOS, plus > it's not hard to visually > filter the colors in the search results. > ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ WHAT GOOD DOES IT DO TO FILTER RESULTS IF THE DATA YOU ARE FILTERING IS NOT ACCURATE? > Regards, > Rob Craig > Rapid Deployment Software > http://www.RapidEuphoria.com _______________________________________________________ Get 100% FREE Internet Access powered by Excite Visit http://freelane.excite.com/freeisp
