Be advised:  Perfect Writer Version II does NOT run on CP/M, is NOT
based on Mince/Emacs, and will NOT work on an Apple ][+.  It is a
MacWrite clonette for the //c and //e, with pull-down windows and lots
of klutz.  Thorn/EMI, the record company who pretends to be in the
software business, is dropping all distribution and support for the
"real" Perfect Writer.  Sic Transit Mince?  I sure hope not.

A friend of mine discovered this to his great dismay when he ordered
Perfect Writer and got the "improved" version.  Now he wants to know
where he can get something close to Mince/Scribble (the basis for the
original PW) and so do I.  Any clues out there in netland?
