Summary: MicroScribe may be vaporware

I've been waiting for the release of MicroScribe for some months now.  When
I first received MicroEMACS, its author, Daniel Lawrence, said that Micro
SCRIBE was under development and would be completed sometime in
September.  In September, that date was moved to December.  In December,
it became January, and in January it became March...are you getting the
idea?  As badly as I need this product, it's beginning to look as though
it will never be released...it's following a pattern that we've seen all
too often.

For those who would like to contact Mr. Lawrence, perhaps to urge him to
complete the project (!), he can be reached at The Programmer's Room
FIDO.  The number is (317) 742-5533.
