Hi Folks,
Has anyone else had this with the latest fermware and transfer tool betas? I 
was reading a James Follett book last night and noticed that for some reason, 
under certain cercumstances, the BP misses off words. It seems to only happen 
when continually reading, sentense navigation reveels the text to be in tact.  
Could one of you guys at APH take a look. I've copied a small section that 
should illustrate it.  Try to reproduce it for me if you can, just copy the 
passage to the clipboard, paste directly into a text file and send that short 
passage to a BP. Am interested in how it works out. For instance, do your units 
cut off the "you promised" and make it sound as if it is a typo?  To finnish, 
the file he sent me was in RTF format and was transfered using office XP. Some 
of his other files seem to exhibit this behaviour also using the new betas.

Passage follows:


    Telson avoided her gaze. `There's a planetary system three light-years from 
Alturn,' he began.

    `Telson! You promised!'

    `I said that I would consider it, Sharna.'

    `Three light-years. That's four years in suspended animation to get there 
that'll take us another three light-years further from Earth.'
