Users' Guide to Girlfriends (2)


Humour


Indeed !! That may very well be the case but I couldn't possibly comment !! 
I have to confess that I do not use Girlfriends. They're not supported on this 
platform. (Incompatable with the hardware, you know.) I did try programming in 
Girlfriend once (well, more in the cut-down form of Girl, actually, the sort of 
program you can compile in twenty minutes and then forget what it was for) but 
it wasn't that satisfactory. 

Of course some people do go through different versions of Girlfriend, trying to 
find the best one. (I think ******[1] tried Girlfriend ***[2] and didn't find it 
too wonderful; possibly the in-built sound effects without the option to disable 
at the command line proved trying.) However once you find a Girlfriend that suits 
it's probably best to stick with it. It's very dodgy trying to run two versions 
of Girlfriend simultaneously, and even running them sequentially can prove 
problematic as later versions of Girlfriend can object to any earlier versions 
remaining around, in any format. Deletion of previous versions of Girlfriend 
can still leave incompatible Registry entries.

This is not a problem with Girl. Girl can be run in very short spaces of time, 
and in multiple sessions provided they each have segregated memory space. However, 
when simultaneous versions of Girl conflict in memory access, problems can result. 
There is an optional program, which can help to resolve this by taking all input 
parameters addressed by Girl-process-name and outputting them with the address 
Darling-output-parameter.

Anyway, what do I know about it all ? What I want is a user's guide to men.

And an Update on the Release of Fiance 1.0
