I'm in the process of reorganizing the Windows FAQ (Frequently Asked
Questions list), and in the process I plan to add an extensive section on
Windows applications.  Instead of just listing available apps like the
current listing (and several print publications) does, I'd like to include
a series of mini-reviews for the apps, compiled from comments by Real
People -- like you!

So, to this end, I would appreciate you filling in the form below for
each of the apps you use, whether it's a word processor, spreadsheet, comm
package, program launcher or drawing program.  I will then compile a list
of 'plus' and 'minus' points for each app, summarizing as appropriate.  You
may include as many forms as you like (and feel like filling out).

----- cut here ---------- cut here ---------- cut here ---------- cut here ----
App/version :
    Good:   +
	    +
	    +
     Bad:   -
	    -
	    -
----- cut here ---------- cut here ---------- cut here ---------- cut here ----

Here is a hypothetical example (of a fabulous drawing package):

-----  sample  ----------  sample  ----------  sample  ----------  sample  ----
App/version : SuperDraw Deluxe Pro 2.1
    Good:   + Automatic bitmap tracing
	    + Includes 100 MB of clip art
	    + Lots of fonts included
     Bad:   - A disk space hog
	    - Sometimes crashes when zooming
	    - Poorly written help
-----  sample  ----------  sample  ----------  sample  ----------  sample  ----

All submissions will be credited in the final FAQ posting.  Thanks for your
contributions in advance!
