1. WHAT'S NEW

HYPERION ANALYZER HTML WEB CLIENT

- Hyperion Analysis Portal ready. Works within the Hyperion Analysis
  Portal.

HYPERION ANALYZER API TOOLKIT

- New calls give the ability to search for members, perform sorting,
  and create traffic lighting.

===================================================================

2. SYSTEM LIMITATIONS

- Microsoft Internet Explorer users must install the Java Virtual
  Machine for Microsoft Windows version 5.00.3186 or later to
  ensure proper functionality of the Hyperion Analyzer Java Web
  client, Hyperion Analyzer Excel Add-in, and Hyperion Analyzer
  Analysis Server console.

- Due to Java's OS independent nature and in order to be Java
  Certified, the Hyperion Analyzer Java Web client will not use
  local machine regional settings grouping and decimal symbols.  
  Standard internationalization Java classes that support the
  most common grouping and decimal conventions for local languages
  have been employed to handle grouping and decimals.  00-08-0062

  Pin graphics must contain fewer than 256 colors, especially for

  transparent.  00-12-0021
