Hit = or + or - or ! when in CA, you will find that the proper comments and
evals are added to the move. So CA has this ability too.

Eval is from a tree of human (master) evaluations of opening moves. CAP data is
shown under the CAP column. You can override evaluations in the Eval tree if you
want.

Once more, I think this is a matter of opinion.

We discussed this elsewhere - the fact that the DHTML did not work in earlier
builds for a browser that was pre-1.0 status, and not officially released until
a month or two ago, should not be constituted a bug. CA was released this time
last year, after all.

CA has other bugs to be sure, but this is not one of them.

And for those following this thread, Firefox 1.0 is now supported with DHTML
output in the latest builds, as well as CA 8.

I will have to find someone with CB 9 and take a look.
