The other one -- it was an all-singing all-dancing table layout system:
pluggable modules, remote execution of Excel sheets, etc.  I am not
surprised that they went under - list price was more than MS-Word.

I did buy it over a year ago.  It is quite good at laying out tables.
Many of the table features beat the stuff in Word hands down.

I was impressed by the support, especially since I bought the package
before reviews occurred.  There are still bugs in it when you try to do
strange things, but I have not upgraded from V1.1.2.

Really good at building big tables -- some of the stuff I prepare
requires several pages of tables with variable size paragraphs inside
each cell.  It does pagination, row and column headers on each page, and
handles footnotes.

I understand the FullWrite Professional 1.5 comes with Tycho, perhaps
embedded in it.  I would not recommend FWP because of that.
