I didn't mean to imply that Windows did everything in a faultless manner,
but I still maintain that the package is a bargin, considering the price.
I have Microsoft Word 3.1, but use Write 90% of the time because I can
include graphics from In*a*Vision into a document very easily, and it is
capable of redirecting the output to a file which can then be spooled
off to my MVAX II to a laser printer.  It does have its shortcomings,
but what doesn't, especially at this price?
