"Oh, and I got to see what really happens when it refused to run AvantGo.. by starting it from the command line I got a Segment Violation message and a large backtrace, which I could presumably email to Access. But I guess AvantGo is a major application they would test themselves sooner or later anyway (and I've already reported to Access that it doesn't run)."

Well, I can tell you for certain that AvantGo was reported as not working with the LAST beta. If reporting it then did no good, why should reporting it now be effective?

It seems SO close, however. I just spent an hour or so trying different options. It says that it has downloaded the articles, but just fails after reporting success with everything.
