Hmmmm. The plot thickens. When I called Ann Arbor to ask a few questions about what FullWrite does, I asked the man when it would be released. He said the first week in September. He also said the thing is already written but is finishing up in testing and polishing. Also, the product looks really snazzy after talking to the salesman. I asked him about various functions and the answers I received made it look really good. Remember, anyone who got this ad, send it in by the end of the week. Oh, by the way, if an April issue of a mag gives a time of 60 days, start counting from the 1st of April. Susbscription holders the issues early out of courtesy and lack of shipping red tape. They are to be read as if you bought it on the 1st of the month. So, Fullwrite was due in early July. Jeffrey A.
