I just got my replacement disks a few hours ago. I've tried running it six times since, and it crashed every single time. It also trips over quote marks and parentheses- if you quote a group of sentences, it will tell you the first one is missing a closing quote and the last one is missing an opening quote. It doesn't always correctly pick up sentence fragments, either- one of the pieces I tried scanning had a character who talked in sentence fragments and it only flagged some of them as errors. It might be worthwile if they get it to run, but I'd advise against buying it, or anything else from Softwood. This is the second time I've bought something from them that turned out to be a bug farm (Pen Pal was the first); I doubt they're capable of putting out a decent piece of software. dfrancis@tronsbox.xei.com ...uunet!tronsbox!dfrancis GEnie: D.HEFFERNAN1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "I don't understand why you make such a big deal out of everything...haven't you learned; if it's not happenning to me it's not important?" -Murphy Brown
