I recently seem to have acquired a copy of QUED/M, by Paragon
Concepts.  This is a word processor that has special features for
editing programs, and looks like it may be a forerunner of Nisus.
I have some questions about it, though.

1.  Is this shareware/freeware/pd, or do I have a pirated copy?

2.  I cannot find it listed in my software catalogs; if it is
commercial, where can I purchase a legitimate copy?  (Other than
directly from Paragon, that is--I prefer to deal with places like
MacConnection, they're lots cheaper and lots faster.)

3.  If commercial, what is the latest version?

4.  Is QUED/M a subset of Nisus?  I've played with a demo copy of
Nisus and love it; someday I hope to be able to buy it.  If it's a
subset, that means I advance my plans to buy Nisus [ it's hard to
justify, since I have Word 4.0 :-( ].

I'm afraid I'm going to discover it's commercial, but no longer on the
market.  That raises a number of thorny issues [but please don't send
me advice in this case; I'll probably just talk to Paragon....]
