My votes, very biased and to be taken with grains of salt.  Not in any
particular order, either:

	The GNU software project, for their efforts over the last
	while, especially their editor which I use when I'm on Suns.

	Underware, for Brief 2.1, a programmer's editor running
	on PCs.  It doesn't have all the power of gnuemacs, but
	it does a whole lot of stuff a whole lot better.

	The Borland 'Jumbo Pack,' with which they let people who
	owned any one of a number of Borland programming languages
	upgrade to a bundle of C, Pascal, assembler, and a debugger.
	These are all *great* packages and the upgrade cost of
	150$US makes it one of the deals of the year.

	Microsoft Word 4.0.  More improvements to one of the best
	word processors you can get on the PC.
