In other words, it's not necessarily dropped for good, but since the current
version is such a horror, they'd rather not support it until they get a
chance to really work it over.  I can understand their concerns, since
there are so many things needing fixed in the major applications.

  I'd rather see them turn the Librarian into a workable system before
rewriting the notepad.  Not to mention WriteNow, Edit, Webster, etc.

I want to see it fixed, but I'm glad they're concentrating on more
important problems first.
