FullWrite Professional betas shipped about two weeks ago.  They're trying to
release it at Expo, but it's going to be a race.  They're doing *unheard* of
things for betas -- they've got an 800 number for bug reports, and are
shipping updates by Fed Express or some such overnight biz.

On the other hand, the betas (while containing bugs) seem to be pretty
solid (nothing REALLY nasty).  Which is saying something with a product this
complex.
