Re: New version of Exodus available

All,

I'd like to point out one little thing that *everyone* that tries this product should be aware of. It takes a directory as a command line argument, then procedes to delete (without prompting) anything in that directory, no matter what it is... Maybe a little prompting here would be nice, at least a warning that everything was going to be deleted instead of just going and removing everything...

The documentation on the website provided only states the following:

"Run exodus with a command like :

java -jar exodus.jar directoryname

where directoryname is a directory that exodus should use to store the conversations seen.
If no parameter is passed, exodus will not save any analysis at this point. The directory need not exist, but the name should end with a slash (appropriate for the platform)"

Tim.
