Okay, yes, there is definitely a problem. The BOXES within the Spanish edition of GURPS Lite seem to be directly copied from the boxes in the Interlingua edition.

This doesn't sound like anything to blame on the unlucky translator. That sounds like someone in our office was not fully awake when the files were laid out. (SJ stamps on his hat some more.)

We will take the file down as soon as possible; I doubt we'll get it fixed and replaced before the New Year, since most of the staff is on vacation.

Thank you all for calling this to our attention.

I'll probably have to sit down, myself, and compare each paragraph. Has anyone noticed any problems with sections OTHER than the sections in boxes? If so, which ones?
