MAJOR BUG IN LOTUS FOR SunOS

[Rohit Mehrotra]

Lotus 123 running on SunOS has a bug with its IRR calculations.  A
worksheet which takes about 5 hours to calculate on an IBM PS2 takes
approximately 21 on a Sparc Station running SunOS.  Lotus acknowledges the
bug and says that it will NOT provide any patch to its software (Policy
Decision!! They still live in a DOS world). They say that it will be fixed
in the next release, the alpha of which is not due until the 4th quarter
of this year at the earliest.  So if any one is planning to use Lotus on
Sparc stations and intends to do IRR calculations, be patient when your
machine would be grinding for the whole day and your accountants screaming
at you.

Thanks
