Hi Sean,

Actually, I've already purchased a load o' software from them: 
DreamGrafix, Animasia 3D, Balloon, RTF and AWGS Translaters for GWIII, 
Pick 'N' Pile.  I also have Twilight II and a TransWarp GS on backorder 
with them.  I agree with you; they're a great company.  The software I 
have from them so far is top notch.

Woah!  That's very cool.  I didn't realize.  Thank you for the tip; I'll 
definitely call and order that.  As a freelance writer, I need to export 
to formats that my editors can use.  ASCII is what I've been using, but 
they hate that - apparently Word for Windows makes ASCII look horrid, and 
cannot import with a CR to CR/LF option like WordPerfect for Windows 
can.  RTF is what I was shooting for, but GraphicWriter III turned out to 
be more of a program than I need.  Perhaps EGOed 2.0 will work - if it 
can handle sufficiently large document files.


Thanks again,

-Joe
