Bug list for Horizon Investment Analyst:

The only known problems concern displaying datapoint values and percentages when charting:

1) For 2D X-Y scatter diagrams, you can display the datapoints as *values*, but not as
   *percentages*.  With all the other charts, you can display them as either.

2) For the 'category' charts, when you specify black and white pen patterns, sometimes the
   program puts the datapoint numbers *inside* the plot, instead of outside.  This makes the
   values illegible.  For *pie* charts, this *only* happens if there is just one series
   represented in a pie.  For the other charts, it *only* happens if you checkmark the 'stack
   data' option.  It does *not* happen if you leave that option un-checked.

   Again, this problem only occurs if you use black and white patterns.  The problem does
   *not* occur if you use color pens.

3) If you page up and down on the chart screen, to see the different charts, sometimes the
   datapoint values disappear when you page to the pie charts.  This *only* happens on the 2nd
   and subsequent times that you page to the pie charts.  To make the datapoint values
   re-appear, you just have to re-plot them.

These issues reside with the vendor who sold us the charting library, so we have to
wait for them to resolve them, before we can get them fixed in Horizon Investment Analyst.

There aren't any other known bugs.

One anomaly that *isn't* considered a bug is that if, after displaying a chart, you want to
return to the main screen, but leave the Chart window open (you don't want to close it), you
can't just click the 'Horizon Investment Analyst' button on the Windows taskbar to redisplay
the main screen.  (This situation might arise if you want to plot another investment on the same
chart.)

To return to the main screen after displaying a chart, you have to physically click the
'Minimize' button in the upper right corner of the 'Chart' screen.  This is because of the way
Visual Basic spawns non-modal child windows, and, according to Microsoft, isn't a *bug*, but a
feature!  hahaha.

Well, all kidding aside, I have been very impressed with what this compiler allows me to do.
I think that VB is far and away one of the best languages to use for business and financial
applications, and I've used quite a few others in my 20+ year career.


Thanks!
