Mark (and to whomelse it may concern), I just got off the phone with Michtron.
I mailed them my original disk and $5 last Wednesday (Jan 31 1990) and called
to ask about wheither Michtron had received it. I was told that not have they
received my disk, but that they shipped my upgrade Tuesday Feb 6 1990.

I didn't receive it in yesterday's mail, but I am hopeful that I will get it
by Saturday. I will post and let you all know what version number they shipped.
I was told on the phone though that they had version 1.6 not 1.24 and that
it was dated Jan 1989m which still seems kinda old. But, I will just have to wait until
I get my upgrade to know exactly what they shipped. I sure hope that it doesn't
crash (trash) my HRD files like my old version does. One of the nice features of WERCS
is that it allows long variable names, which I really like. Also it has a test mode where 
you can test out dialog boxes from within WERCS. All in all, I like it better than the
MWC RSC Editor or The K-Resource RSC Editor.

I want to think Michtron for shipping so promptly. Sounds like a good company.
