Co., Inc., Everett, WA Lines: 27 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... "I feel the Need..." "The Need..."
