No, it's not an Apple problem - they're not losing any money over it, and they're certainly not losing any sleep over it. I think it's a Livecode Ltd problem (for the reasons described in the earlier post), though it is partly caused by Apple. Yeah. it would be great if Livecode Ltd could

I have now included a "catcher so that when you try to decode a Hexadecimal number of the form "123WP2A" it will catch you out and point out that that isn't a Hex number. This may seem trivial, but I can think of at least one kid I know who has serious problems counting in Base 16 (to say
