RCT vs Tune Lab

[Dean May]

I was able to hack the laptop version pretty easy, but didn't really try too
hard on the Pocket PC, though I think I know how it could be done. Why did I
do it? Well I was worried about the laptop crashing and losing the program.
I wanted to be able to install it on a new computer if I needed to. 

And I'm with you. My appreciation for Bob's confidence in me is what
motivated me to make the post. Just trying to spread the good news. ;-)

Dean.

The two programs use a pretty different approach.  That said... I find 
Tune Lab better simply because it rather forces me to think more about 
the tuning I'm setting up then RCT does.  That perhaps is a personal 
perception... but it is mine non the less.  As for following any given 
frequency with any given degree of accuracy... they are for all possible 
practical purposes identical.

I too found the copy protection schemes of RCT in the end to be too 
demanding.  And I appreciate the confidence in the users that Bob shows 
by being much more user friendly in this regard.  It has FWIW led me to 
spread well over a hundred copies of his shareware version he 
distributes on CD around and that has no doubt resulted in at least more 
then a few sales for him.

btw...  I know a few youngsters whom all say they are capable of 
wrecking practically any protection scheme out there and its their 
opinion that any program that hasnt gotten  hacked within a few months 
of being made available simply isnt worth hacking.  I dont know if its 
true or not... but it would seem to me that the odds of any tuning 
program needing more then a modest protection scheme like Bobs are 
rather low.
