I'm impressed that you can include Gandalf in that little club without knowing
anything about the new release. There has been a lot of data posted, so the lack
of knowledge about the new version implies that your attention span is limited
to one program at a time. This one program always seem to be the hero,  alone
amidst the cruel bean counters. Only with Thorsten Czub by its side.

OTOH, if you're basing your conclusions on Gandalf 3 then Steen Suurballe should
have received a lot of praise earlier. I haven't seen that anywhere. Besides,
the novelty of the concept you commend would be limited.

If you're just fond of knowledgeable programs, why not say so? Instead of
attacking other programs and author's without supporting fact. I guess it's only
a question of time before you miraculously discover another gigantic conceptual
novelty, unknown to the bean counters of the world.

Mogens.
