This software is a rip-off; request a full refund
Hello:
I ordered your latest version diaw.exe 0.97, but find your text next to
impossible to use. No editing WYSIWYG features
It also does not copy to MSWord.
Unless you have a better way to use text, I want a full refund.
Incidentally, this is free software; why did you charge me?
This software is a rip-off.

A rip-off is a rip-off !!!!!!
A rip-off is a rip-poff ! "This could be a good stuff for this month's 1sth..." You need to clean up your English typing, before you widely publish it in a USER's FORUM. The gist of what I read is, that to obtain what I need I should read the source code and develop my own version? Huh I have a Masters Degree in Electrical Engineering, with a minor in Computer Science, but I would not even begin to waste a minute to unravel the spaghetti code typical of Open Source Freeware. What you should feature in your FORUM is: "If a vendor charges $14.00 for Freeware, not his own, on EBay, should he declare under the Product Description that this software is available free of charge, including the User Manual, for a couple of minutes of download time? No need to wait a week for a CDROM to arrive from England. And that the free download is a later version than the $14.00 version sent on a CDROM via USPS sneaker mail? Then there is the deception that Dia is a "simper" version of VISIO? I downloaded a 60-day free trial of 2010 VISIO and I can tell you without reservation, Dia it is not even close!

No editing WYSIWYG features * Unfortunately, nothing relies Free software authors to a reseller, except case you buy it to an author (e.g.: to implement a feature or develop from scratch)! * It is also permitted to charge without reason, but most likely for hard-copying and shipping, and, if so, warranty which is explicitely disclaimed in any Free Software licence (so, the re-seller will offer separately the warranty as a service). Note you should take a look at commercial software licences on warranty, this is a fun. * A software, incidentally, is a *tool* which is made for an *usage* and a *public*. Dia is a diagram software, and if you need to create diagrams this is definitely the tool you need. You can also purchase MS Visio if you want to marmosets that rotate[1], or ask to GrandMa what is a diagram. I suggest you turn you back to the reseller, who is the only person who can offer you a commercial arrangement. Note if he didn't gives you a way to get the sources you can either sue him. The resseler figures below on this your mail I left, which is fully accessible to anyone can read. Note also you'd better to search before on the ternet before purchasing what you can obtain *legally* for nothing except a few gigs download. The other solution is to modify software by yourself then, if you want to redistribute modified, give the same licence and the software sources (or an access to them) together. > It also does not copy to MSWord. I suggest you a hammer, the best tool to fix anything on a screen. Most likely, you should read the f...in manual and wonder about what are png, jpeg, svg, and espacially for the $#*%=+@ Microsoft stuff what called wmf "Windows Meta File" and emf "Enhanced Meta File". > > Unless you have a better way to use text, I want a full refund. > Incidentally, this is free software; why did you charge me? > > > > This software is a rip-off.

Thank you for the laugh Fred, this has been by far the funniest series of mails to the Dia list I've ever seen. If I wasn't falling out of my chair right now I would agree with you: Dia is a "rip-poff". For the record it is also "simper" than Visio. It may even be the "simpest" diagramming software there is.
