   Scott has refused to provide any methods of verifying his claim
other than sending $10 to who-knows-what somewhere in MA. No telephone
numbers, no email addresses (somewhat suspicious, especially for a
_computer_ company), no outside verification. I find that AWGS/GW III
2.0/ Teach/Edit-16/Hermes/etc do a darn fine job at any to all Apple
II text editing or word processing I need to do, and I'm not going to
send money off to acquire another program.
