RE: SmartWords

["Harrison, Shawn" Shawn_Harrison@xxxxxxxx]

 As I have
indicated in the past, the economics of the word processing market simply
don't justify investment of the resources necessary to develop, market
and
support a full-featured word processor.
.....
 While this release is 16 bit (which can run in
any Windows environment) we have converted may of the internal structures
to
32 bit providing increased capacities. A native 32 bit editor is under
development.


But it sounds like you *are* developing the word processor -- and as it
stands, XyWrite is *already* "full-featured." What more do you have to
do, except use the normal channels to let people know it exists?

I know, it probably seems futile to compete with MS Word. But believe me,
there are plenty of us serious editors, programmers, and writers who
*need* a better tool than that clunky ol' thing. I don't know if
SmartWords is superior to XyWrite, but I do know that, as far as text
editing and speed are concerned, XyWrite is superior to Word. You've got
something valuable, Ken. It's a real shame to see you sit on it and do so
little.

Another question I have -- XyWrite, SmartWords, and Nota Bene are clearly
the same program. How is Nota Bene for Windows related to this SmartWords
product?

Thanks,
Shawn
