I received my disk Monday (only took 3 days!) and it works without a hitch,
and I have about 10 inits (Mac II, 4 meg).

I only have had time to boot it, load a few files, and peruse some of the
online help but my inital impression is that this isthe most advanced
program editor I have seen.  There is alot going on in this program,
including support of some rarely implemented interface guidelines like
split windows, etc.

One thing I have et to decide on is its extensive additions/extentions to
the user interface guidelines.  I like some of them , and am undecided
on some of the others.

It is worth a look, but be warned that no printed info comes with it (aside
from an order form) so you will need to read the online help (which has
some spelling errors and typos).
