A while back I decided to start messing around with Visual Studio .NET
and in looking for a project to work on, I decided to tackle a program
for managing a simple chess club ladder. My intent is to release the
initial version of the software as freeware. I have pretty much
finished what I'm working on and need a few folks (probably 4-6) that
are interested in helping me test the program. At this point, I'm
looking mostly for DOA testing so that I can work out major issues
using a small sample so that I don't get overwhelmed. I've tested the
installation process on my computers, but all of mine are pretty up to
date with Windows XP, Microsoft Office (the program has an Export to
Excel option) and the .NET framework already installed. If you are
reasonably patient and computer literate and would like to help,
please e-mail me at



(this is a disposable e-mail which will be delete at some point) In
your e-mail, please let me know what OS you have running, whether or
not Office is installed on your machine. In order to use the program,
you will be required to download the .NET framework through Windows
Update (it is about a 25 meg download).

If you are not interested in testing, but want to know when the actual
freeware is released, let me know by e-mail as well (if you are seeing
this after the e-mail above has been deleted, visit my web site
www.texmosoft com.

If you respond, you can be assured that I will not add you to any
e-mail distributions without your permission and I certainly won't
give it to anyone else.
