Hello, 
	On a sligtly related note, I just received Excellence! v3 in the mail.
Looks like mostly cosmetic changes but they are very well done. The requestors
have had their much needed upgrade and the display is fully OS2.0 compatible.
	Apart from that there does seem to be too much in the way of
enhancements, but I have not had time to look closely. One feature I did like
was the ability to have it read a file back to you. At first this seemed a bit
of a wank but when I tried it on some work I had done recently I was surprised
at how it showed the readability (is this a word) of the text.

Have fun,

Russell
