Yes, they got it wrong in the text of the article, but they almost
redeemed themselves by putting the address for Radial Eye in the
block at the end of the article (the one that lists references to
products that support ARexx).

I'll probably write a quick little letter to the editor that points this
out, along with the "spelling" error (could one consider "TEX" a spelling
error"?).
