I have Right Writer ver. 3.0.  I got it about a year ago.  As far as I 
know, it is *not* shareware.  It is by RightSoft, Inc. from Sarasota, 
FL.  Their phone number is (813)923-0223.  I paid $46 for it. 
 
I also have Grammatik III from Reference Software.  It is a similar 
product that I prefer.  I find it easier to use.  I paid $57 for it.  I 
think there might be newer versions of both packages than what I have. 
 
I have problems with both packages.  They don't find all mistakes and 
they both nag about using passive voice a lot.  Grammatik III is 
supposed to work directly with major word processing packages.  It 
screws up my formatting every time I check an original MS Word document.  
I usually check copies, but then the changes have to be redone to the 
original.  My version of Right Writer works on text files and puts 
zillions of hard-to-read comments in the middle of the text.  I don't 
care for it at all.  They've both got a ways to go.
