Not quite sure what you are saying here. Looks like it's still a version of Horizon.

Sorry, I should have quoted the previous post where I had noted that there had been progress on the compensation scheme, and was then contrasting that with the system still causing problems.

That makes sense. I find it somewhat surprising that they still can't make it at least get the numbers right.

I don't know if they have just given up on the system because of the mess but even so it's 20 years of wrong.

I'd be surprised if the original software even ran on modern hardware. It may just be that they are still calling it "Horizon" even though much of it has been rewritten.

More lying.

That's a link to a BBC live feed. The story you want to highlight will eventually disappear at the bottom of the page. I recommend you use the "share" button to share links to live feeds. And, since the URL is a bit of a monstrosity...

... , use URL BBCode like this: the story you want, I think.
