some pointers would be apreciated .. this disabled person had probelms find
the documentation regarding cvs imports as well, i'm also looking at seting up
teh importation of an asksam database. this i can export as text delimited or
.dbf but need to know a bit of detail about how mysql handles text fields.
now for another small issue ..
of teh documentation that i have read, i found it very hard to understnad, it
is not very well written, that is for people who have less than perfect
cognitive skills ... i have dsylexia and found teh formating of teh text
(documetation) to be as much of a probelm as teh language level used.
i'm not asking, saying that the documentation should be pitched at vegetable
level survivors, but a little less 'assuming' about the usage of certain
idioms would make it easier to swallow and follow.
itself to be
