Yes, I forgot, he's a saint, and you're his disciple.

That's not what I said, rubywand.  (Just what _is_ a "ruby wand", 
anyway?)  If the company involved is going to release something, after 
being contacted or whatever, their authorized representative should post 
the message themselves here on csa2.  That cuts down the verification 
necessary when "Dr. Tom" posts something.

Medley:  supposedly a good word processor, but doesn't include a spell 
	 checker.

WPGS:    also supposedly a good word processor, but doesn't support 
	 TrueType fonts or printer drivers.  

Don't get me wrong, I think it's great that old program are being re- 
released as shareware/freeware.  But for me, as far as these two are 
concerned, all I can say is:  <yawn>.
