The whole point of the complaint is that WriteNow is such a marvelously good pr
oduct on the mac, utterly relaiable and a pleasure to use. So it is especially
sad to see something which bears its name but which lacks most of its functiona
lity and a fair amount of reliablilty come out as WriteNow 0.8 on the NeXt. I
echo the flamer's hopes that in its 0.9 incarnation, the NeXt version will stop
 being a disgrace to the good name of WriteNow.
