It's actually a teeny integrated package a la Symphony, with word processing, spreadsheet, DBMS, graphics, and maybe 1 or 2 other things. If my failing memory serves me, it even ran as a GUI (640x200 CGA mode). It dropped off the face of the earth. Migent was the company that made a fiery red Pocket Modem way back when..... I think they're out of business. -- Greg "Mockingbird" Franklin Interviewer: "Sir, how do you spell relief?" f67700241@ccit.arizona.edu Dan: "R-O-L-A-I-D-S-E."
