I am deleting this program (which is not worth the Giveaway of the Day "price" of free, but is certainly not worth $79 USD). First of all, some of the error message dialog boxes are in German (e.g., Zirkel und Lineal instead of Dividers and Ruler). The localization database needs some work. Second of all, any compiler's debugger will catch divide-by-zero errors: Dividers and Ruler 1.0 displayed a divide-by-zero error as soon as I launched it. Finally, I have a cascade of Zirkel und Lineal dialog boxes, each with the same "RPC server is unavailable" error. (I triple-checked Services.msc, enabled every RPC component (in addition to the RPC service that Windows requires, which is a major security flaw by the way), and rebooted, but to no avail. I thank Giveaway of the Day for your service, but I am deleting Dividers and Ruler 1.0. The divide-by-zero error, which one learns to avoid in an introductory computer programming courses, is enough reason for me to remove this, or any, program. Several comments have referred to free, open-source programs. There are free, open-source programs for Windows that are full CAD software application, which offer much more than Dividers and Ruler 1.0, as well as open-source applications that offer the basic functionality of Dividers and Ruler (but without the problems that I hope CAD-KAS will correct, which would be a better use of resources than bashing competitors on their home page).]]> Sun, 14 Jun 2009 00:08:50 -0400 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/dividers-and-ruler-10/#comment-91519 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/dividers-and-ruler-10/#comment-91518 Sat, 13 Jun 2009 23:09:34 -0400 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/dividers-and-ruler-10/#comment-91518 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/dividers-and-ruler-10/#comment-91517 Sat, 13 Jun 2009 21:28:37 -0400 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/dividers-and-ruler-10/#comment-91517 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/dividers-and-ruler-10/#comment-91516 Sat, 13 Jun 2009 20:04:48 -0400 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/dividers-and-ruler-10/#comment-91516
