The only problem I've encountered so far is that it won't support my wacom
pen, I have to use a mouse!

I have it running under NT with almost no problems, a few filters (gfig) and 
scripts don't work. But the system never crashes, just kill the filter that 
gives the problem.
Tried to install it on my machine (dell/win95) at work. It was unusable, a 
big mess. I don't know why, think it's something with the graphics card.

The last version I tried (forget the number, dated around September I
believe) under Win95b (OSR2) was pathetic about opening image files of
certain types and the ATI graphics card had troubles no doubt too.  Scripts
for filters were bad 10 to 20 % of the time. And though many times it
carried on through without a crash other times I had to Ctrl-Alt-Del out.
This has kept me from trying it again (third time last), as good a program
as it was. Filters are inherently applied slowly btw.

From 2 sources I got the impression that with certain programming languages
(C?, or a different formal language), when used properly, programs can be
produced that can be proved to be bug-less.

Sci. Am. of severals months back.
2. Work done by my excellent countryman Edsger Dijkstra, who now works in
the USA (http://www.sis.pitt.edu/~mbsclass/is2000/hall_of_fame/dijkstra.htm
not on this subject, this link). I get the impression that things have
progressed since he gave his evaluation of programming languages.

Are you sure, and was that recently?

The guy porting it put in support a while back for the standard pen API on
Windows. My Aiptek works fine. You might need to read the readme and give it
an option or something.
