Ouch!  You're quite right.  I'm not aware of a DWB for the UNIX-PC, perhaps
someone will post a source to buy it.  It might be available (all guesses) in
THE STORE or maybe from the AT&T Toolchest.  If the latter, you might end
up spending fewer $$ buying a '386 to do your formatting.  Or even a DOS box,
Elan sells DOS DWB for $695.  I've not tried porting Jetroff to DOS, but
if you forego some of the "play pretties" it might go.  I have also seen ads
from Image Network, none specifically mentioning the UNIX-PC.

Elan Computer Group, Inc.  410 Cambridge Ave Ste A  Palo Alto, CA 94306
(415) 322-2450

Image Network  140 S Whisman Road  Mountain View, CA  (415) 967-0542

If they don't have DWB for the UNIX-PC then perhaps they should, given the
large number of them out there.
