Quite a while back, I bought "The Right Word" spelling checker from the
CMU computer store.  I sent in the registration card, and the company was
supposed to send a much needed update to the program, so I could add to the
dictionary.  A thesuarus was also supposed to be included in the update.
Unfortunately, the company went out of business, so they did not send
anything.

Now for the big question -- Did anyone buy this program, send in the card,
and get the update?  If so, can I get the program from you?  I'll send you a
blank disk, or whatever!  This is important (to me anyway).

No flames about piracy.  This is legit, and I got screwed by Assimilation Inc,
as well as by almost every other computer company I ever bought anything from.
Maybe I should buy an IBM PC, and THEY will go under...
