Their name is WinSoft and their address is: WINSOFT 34, Boulevard de l'Esplanade 38000 GRENOBLE FRANCE Phone: 33 76 87 56 01 Telex 320 546 F As far as I remember, they have a text processor (WinText), an organizer WinIdea(like More), a Database manager (WinFile), and other stuff... As far as I know, they do not have any American distributor, I think they were looking for one, All their softs work both in standard langage (english, french, etc) *and* in Arab. It is actually very funny to see this fancy characters from left to right on your screen. Last time I was in France, I visited them, and I was fairly impressed by their softs. I have no connection with these people, except that most of them are my friends... If you call them, say hello from Felix (you might even get a discount...) -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Francois Felix INGRAND SRI International, AIC felix@AI.SRI.COM 333, Ravenswood Avenue felix%AI.SRI.COM@UUNET.UU.NET MENLO PARK, CA 94025, USA "Pourquoi tant de haine..."
