Email always bounces--I don't want to send things twice <shrug>.

FullWrite is an Ashton-Tate product, but of a different division, so I'm
responding as a user.  I think the sense of comments on the net a few
months ago was "Great program, needs a Mac II with significant memory."
I agree, with emphasis on "Great program."  I just wrote a book using
FullWrite--it's a fantastic tool, better than anything I've ever seen
(which does not include Word 4.0).  However, I have a Mac II with 5MB.
I've used FW on other people's 1MB Mac IIs and its okay, but I sure
wouldn't recommend it to those with lesser Macs.

FullWrite's neat features include wrapping to irregular objects, built-in
drawing program, oh, heck--it has lots of neat features.  In the course
of writing this book, I got it to crash a couple of times (version 1.0--
version 1.1 is the current release), but it is generally very stable.
From the comments on the net, only Word 4.0 approaches FullWrite in 
power--Word 4.0's big thing is managing tables like a spreadsheet.  Yeah,
but can Word place a 50% gray PICT under the text?

Anyway, those are a few comments from a happy FullWrite user.

Disclaimer: I work on PCs not Macs for Ashton-Tate, but you do have to factor 
in that I didn't pay for my copy of FullWrite.  Anyway, my comments
are personal and unofficial.
