Now that Beagle Bros has the rights to Multiscribe GS (at least I think 
they do), did they also get the customer list such that in the (unlikely?) 
event an update occurs, we can be notified.

Are they, Beagle Bros reachable via the net?  I'd like to voice my 
concerns/wishes.

My guess would be that MSGS will die a slow death as it presents a 
reasonable alternative to AWGS.  I like the font/graphics capability of 
MSGS and find that vanila flavored Apple works meets my database and 
spread sheet needs just fine.  I can't see spending $150 more dollars
(for upgrading to AWGS) just to get a program working that should have
worked in the first place. (Just venting folks - is the MSDOS world any 
different?).
