Peter,

>Personally I feel _any_ misleading/false advertising is a "scam".

I think the word "scam" is too hash a description in this situation.  For me it
would only be a scam if the author was completely aware that the new version was
weaker and the sole intention of the release was to fool the general public into
handing over their hard earned cash.  For me this doesn't sound like the
situation with Gandalf 5.

>It is obvious that version 5.0 is _not_ clearly stronger than 4.32h.

It may be clear now but when Gandalf 5 was launched was it obvious that it was
weaker?

>Authors should definately be more careful in their advertising of _their_
>programs.

I agree

>Gandalf was one of my favorite programs due to it's playing style. I just hope
>for the program's sake the advertising turns out to be true.

I also agree!
