   I am currently trying to evaluate the demo of Browser
   (Ultracard).  I am having some serious problems in that every
   time I try to access any of the stacks including the Control Room
   or the Calendar I get the visitation from the MASTER GURU.  He
   relays a message "00000003.XXXXX"  also he ends in a 4 or a
   letter A.


You too.  I also tried to get the Calendar stack to work, without
success.

I don't have my 68000 reference card handy, but it looks like the
UCard Browser is having some problem with dereferencing pointers.

From what I could see of the UltraCard demo, it looked promising,
though slow.  Some sections look like they could use a little
optimization; for example, when you are modifying a card, any change
to one of the onscreen buttons causes the entire field of buttons to
be redrawn, which seems to be a slow procedure.

I've read that there is supposedly an updated Browser.  Does anybody
know if it is available and where we could get it?  I'd like to see a
little more before I buy.
