Message-ID: Date: 2 May 91 22:50:34 GMT Sender: news@fs7.ece.cmu.edu (USENET News System) Distribution: comp Organization: ECE Dept., Carnegie-Mellon University Lines: 18 Dammit, I *knew* it was too good to be true. I've gotten messages that the "Miracle Math Accelerator from Hell, er.. France" causes problems in the following applications: - HyperCard - Managing Your Money (isn't that conveeenient?) - DeltaGraph (my own personal finding- graphs come out unreadable, and the spreadsheet gives results that are completely out to lunch) Remember when your grandfather said "there's no free lunch"? Maybe the old guy was right after all. I'm putting SGIL in the init graveyard for now. Sorry to get everyone interested in this for nothing. I'm sending this file on to the umich archive guys to get this info stored with the file (unless they decide to pull it). -- ==== Scott Barvian ============ Department of Electrical/Computer Eng. === ==== barvian@ece.cmu.edu ====== Carnegie Mellon Univ., Pittsburgh, PA ===
