Hi Ira

To me

An "oversight" is where someone inadvertently fails to do something.

A "bug" is an unintentional fault in a computer program which causes that
computer program to behave in an unintended manner.

I am not sure that you can claim that the bugs in CFTW (few as they are) are
all oversights and vice versa. (grin)

Keep up with the good work - I can put up with both the oversights and
bugs - after all I have stuck with CFT since its early DOS
days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
