	I thought that AAS programmer's where located in Ann Arbor MI  and 
that only the marketing types where located in Southern Cal.  Regardless
of where they where originally located, hopefully Ashton-Tate has hired 
ALL of the programmers associated with FullWrite since a program this 
*huge* probably isn't understood by just a few.  Maybe this has something
to do with the delays :-).  There must be multi MB of source for a program
that compiles down to a measly 700 someodd K.  

	Without the dictionary !!!!!!

	Perhaps part of the problem with FullWrite was getting it to fit 
on ONE disk ( the application that is ) 

	Other than that it looks like a great product ( in the rough ).
