- I can only support you in this criticism. The implementors obviously
- have no concept of how to use X, running xscope between WP5.1 and an
- X-terminal proves this. One of my clients has abandoned the GUI version
- as unusable and gone back to running the character version in an xterm.
- The GUI version also regularly core dumps.

- I too cannot believe why such a significant company can turn out such
- appalling software.
