Ray, What prey tell are you planing to do on or after Dec 17. If it has to
do with getting either product or money back, I would be interested in getting
involved. 

I just called Computerware. They are still carrying MacSmarts & haven't
heard of any problems with the company. 3.02 is the current version that
they have. Version 3.2 was due to replace 3.02 last week but has not yet
arrived. 

I found my letter. It is dated 15 July. It mentions MacSmarts Professional
in the present tense, representing it as a new EXISTING product.This
was done using phrases like : MacSmarts Professional has successfully met",
"..number of key features have been implemented".

By the way, the key features mentioned were:
* Four function arithmetic operations & logical comparisons on named
  variables.

* Report generating capability with mixed text & graphics.

* Printing capability for all displayed documents.

* Form completion by rules with laser printing.

* Colour support for documents.

* Backtrack button to allow users to remake choices.

* Customizable hypertext front end with multilevel links.

MacSmarts professional does NOT as of 9 Nov 88 exist on Computerware's database.

The upgrade from MacSmarts vers 3 to MacSmarts Professional was $75 + $10
shipping. The retail was listed as $495.

The last line on the upgrade notice was "We are always glad to answer technical
or implementation questions by telephone."

So... They cashed my check in Aug and have not answered their phone.
