In the demo-files, they disable some things, but the application itselves
is a complete, full working version of WingZ!!! So just start the application
instead of one of the demo-files. You will get to see WingZ as it is!!!
Everything should work normally exept the 'save' option... If you cannot
get anything done, consult the Help file (cannot recall if it's included
with the demo.. I guess so...). Todd Wilson stated that, with the aid of
the help file, you can get everything done :-))

He said so in a reply to an article of mine, in which I critisized WingZ
after having run the testflight on my Plus. In the mean time, I have
visited the MacWorld expo in Amsterdam and seen WingZ on a IIcx. 
The only conclusion I could draw from the differences in execution speed
(on a IIcx WingZ  __approaches__ the speed Informix promises in its ads,
but that's more a virtue of the machine, rather than WingZ...) is that
Informix aims at the 'high end' of the market.. only on a 68030/68882
machine (IIcx or SE/30..) you will get what you would normally expect
on any Mac after having read their ads...

Don't misinterpret my opinions... the ideas behind WingZ are good... but
the end-product...

Am I the only one feeling bad about being forced to buy a IIcx or SE/30, just
to run a sophisticated Spreadsheet/presentation package on a bearable speed?
