Hi Gary,
I'm laughing. Surely you know that if I'm just coming from an ordinary
linguistic place in a non-technical life, there may be very good reason why
never until today have I ever heard anyone use the word "candidate" in that
way, whether or not it's legitimate just as you explain. See? I wasn't
saying it wasn't legitimate. I was saying I never heard it used that way,
and would someone mind just saying what it meant? Just a conversational
question on my part, not a research proposal. Just teasing. But surely you
get what I'm saying, yes? Thanks a lot. I'll vote early and often for this
software candidate. I promise. :-)

Yardbird,
Remember, Google is your friend!
I searched for "release candidate" and one of its definitions is:
1. (software development) A version of a program that is nearly ready for
release but may still have a few
bugs
; the status between
beta version
and
release version.
If you examine this definition word by word, you would say that the version
of JAWS released today isn't a "release candidate." However, those who
download it will have to decide for themselves whether it should be.
