   Agreed, hence my "C1.NOT" file, basically an appendix of corrections.

   No, he's always been extremely stubborn. When I met him (about the time he 
switched from Professional Software Inc. to Pro-Line), he was already in the 
mode of "I do it *my* way because I know better". The result was literally 
terrible word processor sales in face of more capable (and more public 
feedback sensitive) competition.

   I have tried to tell him this (I gripe especially about PC-PunterNet's 
memory requiements, which prevent people from using it under DoubleDOS, which 
many SYSOPs regard with reverence), and am presently on his "I really don't 
want to talk to you" list.
