I ran into something that I consider a bug (minor, certainly, but a bug
none-the-less) in the NeXT Shakespeare:

I just tried looking up Henry 6 part 2 in the Librarian.  All it would find
was part 1 (not parts 2 or 3). After some poking around, I discovered that
Henry VI part 2 is there under the title "The First Part of the Contention"
and part 3 is under the title "Richard Duke of York."  The introduction
to the former gives the reasons for this: these were apparently the
original titles. This is all well and good, but the Librarian really
should have been able to find them under their standard titles.  I'd even
go a step further and say that the folders and files should have the standard  
titles and that only in the text should it mention the original titles. It
may be very scholarly and clever of them to restore their original titles,
but this shouldn't be done if it makes it harder for 99% of the users to find
them.
