I suppose it might be inflammatory to someone who works for RL; although I see no sign that RL employees are inflamed, and it was not my intention to inflame them. I don't see why those words should inflame anyone who does not work for RL. > Where are these new features you believe are in alpha? I see only a bug > fix > which has in some regard gone awry. I can only say that this is not the impression I have gotten. I might be wrong, but it seems to me that RL is now trying to implement a new degree of unicode support and that RL knew - or should have known - in advance that users could lose characters in consequence of the partial implementation of unicode in the Microed. Again, if I am not mistaken (and I could be, because I don't read every message that gets posted to tbbeta), this was something that we were only informed about after 3.51 testing began. If that is the case (as I believe it to be), then I find it very hard to understand or appreciate. It is in relation to this failure to communicate a known and substantial risk that I brought up the ethics issue. > In the interim, I'm aware that some testers who've experienced the problem > have > - entirely reasonably - preferred to regress to earlier versions.

To be on the safe side now, I might go back even further to 3.0.2.10, because maybe the problem of content distortion existed in the 3.5.36 that I currently use (though I doubt it). -- jaywalker Windows XP Pro SP2 and The Bat!
