   One of the nifty things about Write is all the share&PDware that has
   .WRI documentation.  I find these great, especially when they include
   diagrams and stuff.  Similarly one can use pbrush to look at .BMPs
   and even do small mods, not a fantastic drawing program but when I
   remember the apps that come with Dos (eg EDLIN), I think that we have
   seen some improvement.

Yes, that's a good summary.  Write, the edlin of Windows.

I must admit, that the first time I tried Windows I thought that MicroS*t
had once done something more or less right.  Now that I've taken a closer
look, I still think that they did a fairly good job, but they are late in
bringing out Windows 3.1, knowing the types of bugs 3.0 has...

Anyway, it gives a good reason for Apple to lower their obnoxious prices.
