21 years ahead in math and blocked by a stupid field displaybug?

[MisterX]

Anyway, files are friendlier to handle 100 mbs of text...
Even pdf would choke lamely.

Even DOS shells can wrap long lines! Even simpletext or notepad
so why cant a 999$ application?

Scott is an excellent programmer but it's the same problem
with Scott's definition of a word... not exactly standard...

imoho... but 2 years after telling the problem is kind of
not good client support or listening to the client...

Am I wrong? And I got a few dozen complaints like these.

Wait and see... I guess...

Someone said primes are stupid numbers... without them
you wouldn't have computer safety and your bank accounts
would be easy to hack. So are they still stupid now?
