Count me in as one of Jerry's 98% IIGS owners.  I have very few GS/OS
specific programs, mainly I guess because I haven't found anything that I
like better than my ProDOS 8 programs.  One factor I think that influences my
opinion is that I've learned a particular program and if it meets my needs I
don't want to take the time to learn another one that would offer only
marginal improvements.  I now use Publish IT!3, AppleWorks 3.0, ProTerm and
Labels, Labels, Labels and of course, ProSel selector.
The only reason I use GS/OS is because of the CDA and NDA's available and
because I run AppleTalk to a printer.
