If so, can someone provide me information on this editor program >(ie.

The program has very few bugs (generally speaking, none that really matter), it's been around since 1982 (but has been greatly improved and expanded upon since then), runs under Aegis (but will work under *nix). You can get Danford's FSE from Danford Corp. (213) 514-9334 for somewhere in the neighborhood of $1K. My relationship with Danford? I USED to work there--they no longer required my services. My relationship with FSE? I wrote it. An alternate program is offered by Eurosoft, Inc. out of New Hampshire. Don't have their telephone number, but the company distributes a program produced by some folks in the U.K. Don't have too much experience with it, but it looks like it has much of what FSE has and offers transcript pads as well. Price? In the same neighborhood as FSE.
