User Reviews

  • This project is full of obsolete code, cannot be compiled, there are missing files (for example hw.h). On the other side, there are many files that shouldn't be there which are just some test output of author testing. Documentation is scarce and reading it made me feel it should be "piece of cake" to get it running. I am so much disappointed and cannot recommend this to anyone.
