Without going into nitty-gritty, I understand The Software Touch's "Autoworks"
is superior to Beagle Bros' "MacroWorks" and/or "Super MacroWorks".  It offers
more features, including mail merge.  Forgive the lack of details here, I
don't have any supporting documentation here with me to type in to help you.
InCider magazine has done reviews of both MacroWorks and Autoworks.  Whilst
both products are excellent and innovative, besides being very, very useful
additions to AppleWorks, InCider are impressed with both but I get the feeling
that a couple of the editors give Autoworks the nod, even if its just because
of the extra mail merge features.

The original posting came at a time when my old VISA card was getting itchy
to buy me one of these wonderful products.  Although Autoworks is a little
bit more expensive (approx $27 versus $18 through mail-order --- see InCider
magazine adverts), I'm going to be ordering Autoworks, soon, if not today
even!!!  (...but first I badly need Copy II+....)

I'd like to know if anyone reading this has either product, and what are your
opinions?

General Disclaimer... my views here do not represent in any way those of
InCider magazine, The Software Touch or Beagle Bros., etc, etc.  I'm just
a careful Apple software consumer like the rest of us!
