  Not to start any wars or anything, but I think a major part of people's
grief with Microsoft Write for the ST is that it was _way_ below all of our
expectations.  It's an okay bare-bones (not too many bells and whistles)
WP, but for $140, it's preposterous.

  It does have (in my opinion) one advantage over all the other WP's out
there, and that is the use of GDOS' multiple fonts. In fact, it was my utter
disgust with M.Write that led me to WORDUP, by NeoCept. Contains almost
everything M.Write has, with even MORE features (graphics merging, glossary,
true WYSIWYG, etc.) -- and the stunning price of $80. You really should
try it sometime; The potential equvalent of MacWrite on the ST.

  Does anyone know when the next upgrade for WordUp is coming out? The guys at
NeoCept told me (at the Glendale Atari Faire, in September) that it would be
out "in two weeks". But now it's November, and nothing. Does anybody have
any news?
