Got a note in the mail last weekend about several shareware products being
picked up by a company named Prefered Publishers, and upgrades offered to
registered owners of the shareware versions.  Was a bit confused at first,
as none of the programs appeared to be ones which I had purchased, until I
noticed that Vantage, the text-editting DA, used to be McSink, which I paid
for a while ago (a lovely DA for anyone who does a lot of text manipulation).

However, on reading the upgrade price sheet, there was no upgrade price for
Vantage for registered McSink users listed.  I called up Preferred
Publishers, and they said it was a publishing mistake -- it's $10 for
registered users.  So if you're a McSink owner, and were wondering what was
going on, that's the story.  For more details, the company's number is (901)
683-3383.

Vantage appears to be McSink with a spelling checker and a macro package
built-in, but the description was rather short.  I'll let you know more
about it when it arrives in the mail...

                                "FOR SPEED!"
