Frederic Renaldi has been busy. I downloaded Tabloid 1.1 and Listoid 1.6 off
Compuserve last week. I haven't had much chance to play with these externals
yet, so I don't know how they're different than previous versions, but I do
use Textoid in one of my stacks and agree that version 2.1 is significantly
better than version 1.8 .
