Character states 'present by misinterpretation'

[Snow, Neil]

As one who has used Lucid and Delta, I only want to point out at the
present time that Lucid also is entirely self-contained as a method to
store and manipulate taxonomic data during the process of carrying out
revisions.  NS

I have
a personal bias towards DELTA as a tool to store and manipulate
taxonomical information. There is yet no substitute for it. As far as
the
key itself, I greatly miss the option to weight characters when building
keys in LUCID. If LUCID is to persist and continue to grow, it ought to
incorporate that option.
