Since 7.0 has been looming, I have been holding off on buying software
because I want 7.0-Studly applications.

My problem is that MindWrite seems to have become a dead application,
but it is so well done for what it does.  (It supports the extended
keyboard better than any other application I know, and this copy is
dated 1988!)  I do hate a couple of its non-standard command keys,
like cmd-- for closing a window rather than cmd-W, but those gripes
are pretty minor.  When I first got it it was too slow, but they fixed
that with their first major rev.  They also fixed all the other bugs I
had learned to hate.

Since then I have been using it loyally.

Sure, it works just great under 7.0 (as of b4 at least), but I want
more.

My question: Who is responsible for this great application?  What is
that person doing now?  As of 2.17 the "about" box lists: Cary Wyman,
Frank Rabb, Linda Moncrief, and Bill Pryor.  Where are they now?

I want 7.0 features, better spelling checker, more speed, more
standard command keys (but not the Pagemaker/Word garbage), smaller,
and all the other tasteful improvements those smart people would
naturally do.  (Cary, Frank, Linda, and Bill: Write me for some
specifics.)
