Ok,
 
after *MUCH* work to perfect the tool,  
 
the corruption diagnosis seems just about flawless.  
 
 
*Other* tools in the kit still need some refinement/work/fixes/recoding/etc..  
 
 
but since the tool is so important  have been persuaded to release as a 'pre-release' version  
 
so that everyone can test their files & be safe...  
 
 
 
So,  
 
here we launch our first "HelpWare" release:
 
 
The software costs $98.50.    Anyone who wants to purchase a single user license is welcome.
 
or, The software is also available with the same single user license (or business or institutional with written request & approval)  as "HelpWare".   This costs NO MONEY!!  
 
 
The core idea is that in return for the huge investment involved in inventing, researching and developing the software to help YOU,   you will also HELP others....
 
 
some Yous are already pre-qualified by their massive contributions to us all.   Pastor Don,  Albert, Gary E., etc. etc..   (In fact,  some of the feature set was developed to Albert's requested specs-- even if he doesn't know it yet!)
 
 
every YOU *CAN* easily qualify  by simply making a tiny effort to HELP OTHERS with their ecco.
 
How ?
 
well,  for example:  POST one or more HELPFUL tutorials in the EM beginner or advanced tutorial section.  or POST some helpful example .eco files  or some slang rules etc. etc. etc. etc.
 
(note: one of the drawbacks of the ecco_pro Yahoo list, is that *very* cool stuff gets lost.. there is no easy to use index.  Hopefully this forum structure DOES provide clear indexing so that 'new guests' can quickly find all the cool stuff available.  IF YOU NEED A NEW BOARD OPENED-- ie.  want to contribute something that doesn't seem to fit existing EM boards or categories,  JUST ASK!!)
 
and,
 
feel free to post as much helpful stuff as your heart desires!
 
You are a 'newbie' ?   Not an 'expert' ?  That's GREAT!   YOU STILL HAVE A LOT TO CONTRIBUTE!!!   Likely you've figured out SOMETHING COOL,   even how to do something very basic....    MAKE A TUTORIAL ON THAT IN THE BEGINNER SECTION!!!   HELP another beginner!!!
 
 
also,
 
in the Ecco_Pro forum,  there are a *lot* of questions posted that were somehow never answered...  ANSWERING THOSE COUNTS AS 'HELP'!   (Especially of you add a thread-- even with same content,  in appropriate EM section-- so your help is easy for others to find in semi-structured way...)
 
(and hopefully this encourages help and responses to questions that pop up now and then in the ecco_pro list.)
 
 
also
 
material contributions to the eccoWiki count too!
 
 
so...
 
 
To pre-register,
 
simply sign up below,
 
*or* simply send me a private message via this forum.
 
Please point to a link or two sample of your HELP.... in the request...
 
 
 
and of course,
 
software is licensed AS-IS,  USE AT YOUR OWN RISK,  alpha pre-release software!!
 
HelpWare version has the core diagnosis tool activated.   Additional functions such as template building, Advanced repair tools, etc.,  may or may not be activated in the HelpWare version.
 
License for this HelpWare version does not automatically apply to upgrades or future HelpWare releases.  EM reserves the right to activate/add/modify/deactivate features without notice.  The tool may not work for you,  or may damage files,  or may cause your processes to explode, etc.   use at your own risk.

1.  There are so many questions that get asked over and over... so many simple (and not so simple) ecco stuff that... maybe even has been answered in the ecco_pro forum (or not),  but is 'hidden away'.
 
 
Would be FANTASTIC if you'd take some cool thing that (a) You learned,  or (b) Discovered,  or (c) Figured out,  or (d) now understand...  and make a little Tutorial for it in the 'Beginner' section of the forum,   (or Advanced, etc.  as relevant, etc..).
 
 
 
something like that  
 
 
or post some sample .eco (or .ect) files that you use,  and explain how to use them,  or what's special in them,  or especially helpful for you, etc.....  [with or without slang rules]...
 
 
(and,  if you want to add/contribute something,  and it doesn't seem to fit an existing board,   just say,  and will open a board if necessary to allow room & structure, etc...)
 
 

Just to note Gary E's contributions (in addion to moderating the forum!):
