Subject: Bookup Backsolving: An Invitation toComment

Author: Jerry Creed

Date: 19:43:09 06/25/99


Let me start.  After re-reading Komputer Korners explanation of violations
of the opposite priority rule leading to eradication of =/ and /= Informant
signs and the non-capturing all of the numerics phenomenon when importing
EPD files, backsolving seemed even less usable than ever, unless I wanted to
not use it and do all evaluations manually.  However, this dilemma is
clearly neutralized when re-reading Mike Leahy's Backsolving de-mystified.
So, I ask you, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, can backsolving be trusted
if left on to Always Solve, should favor unclear over equality be checked or
unchecked and would you allow backsolving to work on Informant symbols or
just plain numerical, as from Zarkov?  That seems to be the question.
