Simple, Excellent

I have been using Nik's Dfine for some time now, and have not realised the full potential of this wonderful programme.
Therefore, I have a debt of gratitude to Robin for this simple, concise and very clear book.

The explanations of each step, control are clear and are sections that I can, and will, review, from time to time
