As you become more familiar with the System Tester you'll find that there are ways to
do make it do most things that initially don't appear to work. There were many bugs in
the 8.0 version but most of those were fixed in 8.01 and 9.0. Unfortunately, finding out
what doesn't work is part of the process of finding out what does work, and necessary
before ways around a problem can be devised.
A very helpful document with comments by Tom Sprunger can be found in the files
section of this group. Everyone should read it before trying to use the Enhanced System
Tester (I'm not suggesting you haven't read it, but if you haven't then it's a good place to
start).
I included suggestions for a number of perceived deficiencies in recent issues of my
newsletter (subscribers only), and I'll be following up with more suggestions for making
things work as intended in the March and April issues. I'll certainly be checking out the
point you raise about percentages but have nothing specific that I can offer just yet.
Kind regards
