This article is a copy of the WinACE webpage: click on "products" in the left of the navigation bar in the top, and scroll down to "features" section. Obviously the information about this product is not neutral, because it comes from the promo webpage of the vendor. The same happens in Commandline ACE. --Juantxorena 11:33, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Interface errors in Commandline Ace 2.1, 2.6 and up

Commandline Ace 2.04 has its interface in good and proper state. But Commandline Ace in versions from 2.1, 2.6 and up in ACE.EXE (not ACE32.EXE) has erratic behavior of its interface when dragging vertical draggable line in left and right.

It looks as such:

Note 'ld' strings instead of proper capacity values and interface panel table deformation. This error occurs when using ACE.EXE 2.1/2.6 that is compiled for DOS, both under Windows ME GUI and real DOS 8.00. ACE32.EXE 2.1/2.6 when running in Windows ME GUI lacks this error, and behaves correctly like ACE 2.04.
