Samuel,

I'm a bit confused about which transfer you're talking about. Is this the
one where you transfer the file from UNNA to your computer, or the one where
you transfer the package from your computer onto your UMP2K? If it's the
former, I fail to see why it would tell you that the package will not work
on the system, or I don't understand the meaning of this message...

To answer your 2nd question, yes, there is a "hack" that will let you use
your internal microphone as the Dragon Demo input source. The author is
Daniel Padilla and he usually reads this mailing list.

candygrammar n.: A programming-language grammar that is mostly syntactic
sugar; the term is also a play on `candygram'. COBOL, Apple's Hypertalk
language, and a lot of the so-called `4GL' database languages share this
property. The usual intent of such designs is that they be as English-like
as possible, on the theory that they will then be easier for unskilled
people to program. This intention comes to grief on the reality that syntax
isn't what makes programming hard; it's the mental effort and organization
required to specify an algorithm precisely that costs. Thus the invariable
result is that `candygrammar' languages are just as difficult to program in
as terser ones, and far more painful for the experienced hacker.
