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).

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

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