Re: EVAL() -- is this a bug???

[Andy Augustine <aug@ix.netcom.com>]

Not sure if anyone else is aware of this yet, but Brendan Eich announced
that the next release of Navigator has fixed eval()!!  Whew... thats a relief.

Don't have a time frame for next release, but it is supposed to be coming
shortly.  Hold your hats.
