F.A.Q's
	Q: What does LeaderCalc have that the PDF files don't? A: LeaderCalc can generate leader combinations from 05X-8X and lengths from 4' (1.2m) to 17' (5.2m) in 1/2 foot (.15m) increments. LC can generate more customized leader package labels and allows for your own custom leader sleeve notes. LCr3 also provides detailed information on 19 of the most popular monofiliaments. All-in-all, LCr3 can generate over 1,500 different formula combinations whereas you get only 300 in LC-QwikCalc!. Q: Is LeaderCalc free? And how about the PDF files? A: Absolutely yes...forever. It took over 2 years of R&D to collect the formulas and develop the LC formula generation engine...all for you to enjoy a the click of a mouse button! Q: Is LeaderCalc Open Source? A: Absolutely no...forever! That's our secret how we developed the formula generation engine and how we store the formulas in our custom database...but if you're an Excel whiz, you could probably replicate it. It will take you some time, though; It took us several months of programming alone. Q: What if I have problems with LeaderCalc on Excel or with the PDF files? A:Go to the FishBetter forum and post your question. Support will be limited to functionality of LeaderCalc alone. We avoid supporting MS-Excel and Adobe Acrobat; we just aren't good techie help-desk types! See Microsoft's site (Excel) and Adobe's site (Acrobat Reader) for support and proper usage on these packages.
