>Has anybody used Laser Author?  I've seen a mini-review in MacUser (June
>1988 issue) which describes it as a "technically-oriented word processor."

It's English, known here as MacAuthor.  I tried an early Beta copy, which
was the most amazingly buggy piece of software I've ever seen.  The early
actual release was apparently not as bad: more like a _real_ Beta.  
If it worked, it would be quite good; it's been highly praised by English
reviewers (I suspect largely because it's English,) never by anyone else.


Douglas Adams wrote "Dirk Gently" on it, but I doubt you'll get the kind of
support he does.
