Daniel Lawrence should be very highly praised for his work, MANY TIMES OVER.
I bet when MicroSCRIBE is released, it will be gosh-durned wonderful.

On the other hand, preannouncing vaporware literally years in advance
is in questionable taste, even for net.wonderful.people.  People put
off writing/acquiring a solution to their problems, because
vaporSCRIBE will be out 'soon', and it will be 'the best'.

So: don't complain, use PROFF, recently posted with sources.  With a
bit of EMACS.RC hacking, it and printer effects are easily integrated
into Mr. Lawrence's wonderful editor.
