hey anybody notice a discrepancy in the volume figures. The "quotes" section of yahoo gives volume of 1,000,500 but in the graph section of SI under BORL it gives 950,000?

I think we have to remember that the released version may differ considerably from the beta, such as the Java 1.2 VM. The lack of a spelling checker is very troubling. I bought a wordprocessor "kit" two years ago and added exporting capability to HTML. It was structured precisely as I expected and probably as anyone might have expected: a list of paragraphs within which you had lists of text segments. Each segment object had the attributes for that segment (font, color, et cetera) along with the starting and ending characters of that segment. So, you could create add, delete, insert and move segments, paragraphs with ease. UPSHOT: you could operate on the paragraphs and segments, whether that was changing everything to greek or checking the spelling or just changing the font. If you tell me you don't have a spelling checker that's one thing; however, if you have a spelling checker but you can't hook it up then my suggestion is to hire somebody who at least has the foggiest notion of how your objects should be structured because whoever you have now doesn't! I hope there's an explanation for why they can't operate on paragraphs and text segments for checking spelling or transmitting every odd consonant to Mars -- which should be essentially the same thing from the core executive's point of view. I'm with you on this one David, pretty lame.
