I ordered this item from Icon Review, and they have sent me nothing but
repeated "we don't have this one yet, do you want to cancel" notices.  I see
that the latest Icon Review catalog (which arrived yesterday) doesn't even
mention Doug Clapp's Word Tools, so maybe it is in permanent vaporware mode.

That's too bad, because I was VERY interested in this program. It represented
a whole new idea, and if it did half of what was claimed, it was nothing short
of amazing.  Maybe it was after all too good to be true. . .
