Umm, ethan, he wanted a list of WORKING programs, not a list of NOT working
programs.  the way you make it sound at first is that nothing works on 2.0,
which MOST does now.  but i like your idea, instead of posting programs that
DO work, why not post programs that DON'T work.  since this list is probably
MUCH shorter.

umm, CED works just fine under 2.0, the ONLY problem i've encountered is that
stupid slide bar bug, which is just annoying, not unusable.
