Has anyone else noticed that the Oracle Output in Gatherer outputs
multiple instances of the same card? I'm guessing it's one for each
version.

It's relatively harmless, except (a) it didn't used to do that, and (b)
it's annoying when trying to parse the thing automatically.

Noticed, noted here, Zoe passed it up, and it's still doing it. And yeah,
experimentation shows it's one for each time a symbol appears on the
condensed versions...

And it makes the file a good deal larger. Notepad has to think a while before
opening the text version now. And if the multiple card versions get out of sync
with each other it's going to be even more of a bugger to find than it
normally would.

A good thing I have found is that now the autocard window can display
multiple languages for any single card for the last three-four sets,
which eases things a lot when talking about a card in another language
(i.e. my own Italian).

Everyone's a bit busy with all the regular stuff at the moment, but
the issue has certainly not been forgotten. In the meantime, you
do at least now get Coldsnap cards appearing when you search among
standard-legal cards. I'm assured that they're looking into the
other issues with Gatherer.
