I don't need to study Corel or any other legacy outfit which never developed anything other than warmed-over DOS applications. Having no experience designing or developing object-oriented software combined with little or no leadership could easily lead to the same results we saw with a highly skilled team of developers at Taligent, which also failed. If you can't do it in C++ then you can't do it in Java, period. Look, they posted a beta which did not have search and replace capability; that's not java, that's rank-novice hacks doing the earn-while-you-learn gig at shareholder's expense. Being able to operate on a paragraph would have made search and replace, spelling checks, et cetera, an an easy addition. Obviously they don't know what they are doing. Sun had it right when they said you can't just take the previous crap and substitute lines of Java code for lines of C code. Corel is simply a shink-wrapped has-been living of the spillage from a decade old product. Being led by a clown in CEO's clothing I might add.
