I'm in need of some semantic analysis tools, thought this might be a good

Are you still in Santa Fe? I'm not, but if I was, I would help out in person at

Interesting, but the big difference here would be that Mac and Linux come with
python installed where windows doesn't. So updating windows isn't likely to
have as big an impact, since presumably you are including python in you

Thanks, Owen, for these kind words.
The hardest thing at this point is knowing what I dare touch what I don't.
There are several programs which some of the sites on the web tell you are
part of the system and can't be touched, and some tell you are filled with
viruses. So, I guess if you have

Nick,
If you use a proprietary system like a Mac running Mac OS X or a Windows
PC, and you aren't a person that has reason to know the semantics of
internal interfaces (a.k.a. APIs) there really is no recourse but to
seek support from the vendors involved, or online support groups.
