Princeton University. Lines: 24 OK, I'm sorry for bitching about CLUE-6.0 not tested on Lucid when the distribution was released. I formally apologize to the authors for being grateful for their public-domain software. I posted the message when I was very frustrated and should have tone down my message a bit. The cause of my frustration was that I was thrown into a wild-goose chase -- I was told REPEATEDLY that what is in the distribution should work like a charm WITHOUT ANY FURTHER HACKING/FIXES and so I went around on the net getting different versions of various packages, THINKING that I must have the wrong or out-dated distributions. If I was told that the distribution is not quite tested and need further hacking then it is fine for me -- I won't even post a single message out and spend time hacking on the bugs. I've received many messages all over the usent saying that they're at similiar predicament -- don't know which distributions are the true ones. -- Eric Ho Cognitive Science Lab., Princeton University voice = 609-258-2987 email = eho@confidence.princeton.edu 609-258-2819 (messages) eho@bogey.princeton.edu regards. -eric-
