    Hmmm.  Good question.

    The way we store the localization for the GEMS summary report is not
    compatible with JResultClient.  This is because GEMS is written as a NT
    specific app, while JResultClient is supposed to run on anything that runs
    Java (like Macs).  Also, JResultClient could potentially have wide
    distribution (ie people in their homes on the Internet), so it needs to be
    generic.  Distributing localization with JResultClient would add complexity.
    We could download the localization as part of the server protocol, but a
    change like that is non-trivial.

    I will put this request on the "Open" pile for now.  If one of your
    customers would like to finance the change, we can escalate the priority of
    course.  Let us know what the market will bear for this feature.

    One simple solution would be to change the terminology to something everyone
    can agree on.  Perhaps "number returned" or something like that.  I suspect
    it will be hard to achieve such an agreement though.
