Not being able to count isn't exactly what I'd call an "obscure" bug. They finally did come out with a free upgrade, but it took months. The current annoyance is that it will not let you use commas to format large numbers (ie 9,234,543,987). They say this has been added to the list for future enhancements. Two or three more revs, and it could be a very nice spreadsheet. As is, it's just adequate. -- Blaine Gardner @ Evans & Sutherland 580 Arapeen Drive, SLC, Utah 84108 blgardne@javelin.sim.es.com or blgardne%javelin@dsd.es.com ...dsd.es.com!javelin!blgardne or {decwrl, utah-cs}!esunix!blgardne DoD #0046 My other motorcycle is a Quadracer.
