Sounds really good. And, since memory is usually a premium, "smaller
and faster" is quite appealing.

I gave them a call (617-646-3975). The software is ShareWare. You can
use it free for 21 days (to test drive it), then you have to register.

I don't think it a demo; its the real thing. Two places to get it (I'm sure
there are more):
CompuServ, forums CONSULT (or is it CONSULTS, or something else
close), or IBMSYS.
Future Technologies BBS, 617-720-4095, 2400bps (they said)
Files are called 4DOS.ARC and 4DDOC.ARC and total 270Kb.
