[comp.os.msdos.misc] LOTUS MANUSCRIPT REL. 2.1 and Scandinavia !

jan@enea.se (Jan Wester) (12/10/90)

I have a bug in Lotus Manuscript 2.1. It is about the Index part of
the package.

If I want an index in my swedish document and uses the scandinavian
letters } { |, ] [ \ (8-bit) the sorting will not work. All the scandinavian
words will come first in the sorted output.

This is a real bug and it was not there in release 2.0.
I have tested it !

There is another annoying bug : The Face Up/Face Down setting when using
Apple LaserWriter Plus does not work in release 2.1.
That part also worked in release 2.0.

In the release info Lotus claims that only a few routines are changed from
release 2.0 to 2.1. That cannot be true.
It seems like 2.1 is a VERY buggy version. My recommendation is :
DO NOT USE IT! USE 2.0 INSTEAD if you can live with the fact of not getting
shadowing in your tables!

Anyone else that have noticed this problems ?
