I actually have an address and phone number (about a year old):

   The Workstation Group
   6300 N. River Road
   Rosemont, IL 60018
   708-696-4800

By the way, I _really_ like XEDIT, and I like the way it interfaces
with REXX as a macro language.  XEDIT is totally untouched by any sort
of UNIX heritage, so it's interesting in that it kind of points up the
interrelatedness of most UNIX editors.  One thing I really miss in
other UNIX editors is the ALL command.
