Thanks for alerting me to this, Franz. Not much I can do about it, except leave a snarky comment—which I did.

That was a nice comment on the Tinderbox forum. Thanks for pointing it out to me, Hugh.
Not to start a very off-topic tangent, but I was wondering if my negative review of “No Country for Old Men” would be noticed and/or elicite a reaction. The Cohn Brothers are excellent craftsmen, so there is high-quality filmmaking on the screen, but I just found “No Country” so bleak and disturbing, it makes “Schindler’s List” seem like a feel-good movie. Either that or there was some context to the film that I just didn’t get—not entirely impossible.

@ Everyone
Apologies for the false alarm. After reading Steve’s review, I googled Tinderbox for Windows and got the link Cassius mentioned. I saw that there was no high-ranked mention of it in Eastgate but didn’t search further. I assume that I just wanted it too much to happen.
In the good old days I would have downloaded the RC and found out for myself that it was completely irrelevant. However, now I only have two Windows machines that are both used in production, so I don’t install beta/RC stuff.
@ Steve, re
>Not much I can do about it, except leave a snarky comment—which I did.
I believe you should inform appstorm, in case they don’t know about it already. I am quite certain that there is something they can and would be willing to do.
