I thought that AAS programmer's where located in Ann Arbor MI and
that only the marketing types where located in Southern Cal. Regardless
of where they where originally located, hopefully Ashton-Tate has hired
ALL of the programmers associated with FullWrite since a program this
*huge* probably isn't understood by just a few. Maybe this has something
to do with the delays :-). There must be multi MB of source for a program
that compiles down to a measly 700 someodd K.
Without the dictionary !!!!!!
Perhaps part of the problem with FullWrite was getting it to fit
on ONE disk ( the application that is )
Other than that it looks like a great product ( in the rough ).
