While I try to stay away from recommending software from any vendor, I felt this package was well worth taking a look at. cheers j. _______________________________________________________________________ _____ Jack Parker - Hewlett Packard, BSMC Boise, Idaho, USA jparker@hpbs3645.boi.hp.com _______________________________________________________________________ _____ been there, done that, somebody ripped off the t-shirt. _______________________________________________________________________ _____ Any opinions expressed herein are my own and not those of my employers. _______________________________________________________________________ _____ dear all, i'm sure you all can appreciate the difficulty of launching a new software product in this world with the usual amount of limited resoures and limited finances a small software house "enjoys". so you can probably equally appreciate my surprise and delight to find jack's unsolicited remarks this a.m. our product, ThoroWrite, has the following features: word wrap cut / copy / paste search / replace spell checker with excellent suggestions insert / overwrite modes address book with fax connection - upgradable to email security pull down menus source code included - ThoroWrite can either be used as a full word processor (4ge call) or can easily be sized and integrated into your forms to give them all of the functionality of a word processor right within your application. we will gladly email you a self extracting demo disk and welcome your comments. please enclose your platform. thanks for your consideration, sheldon
