There is a newer version of Glue, called SuperGlue, that has the ability to
extract text from Glue documents. You use Glue instead of SuperGlue (Solutions
is continuing to sell both products). SuperGlue also has some features for
manipulating fonts (it can tell you what fonts are used in your document, and
globally substitute Times 12 for New York 12, for example). I saw SuperGlue
advertised for $54 or so from some mail-order firm in the January MacUser.
