Just as a note: When I first started using a certain word processor, it was Nisus (version 2.something), and produced by Paragon Software. So, for old fogeys like me, the description "Nisus and NisusWriter" means old and new versions of a particular word processor. A clearer statement (e.g. "Nisus Software and its products," or "The word processor now known as NisusWriter") would *really* help. It would either clearly open the list to NESY, or (my personal hope) definitively make NESY off-topic. -- Bob Waltz waltzmn@skypoint.com "The one thing we learn from history -- is that no one ever learns from history."
