To Andrew Apold (@MSS): I just purchased (3 weeks ago) Excellence! V2.00b at World Of Commodore NY. I mailed my registration card in to you as well. Do I get a discount on the upgrade to V3.0 of Excellence!. I also bought Prowrite V3.2 at WOC. I found that big documents have faster paragraph and line inserts on my Amiga 2000 (MC68000) than on Excellence!. I found this annoying and am now using Prowrite to edit the document. Prowrite doesn't have all the advanced features of E! but writing the text is more important to me than fooling around with advanced features like indexing and footnotes which I will use shortly in Excellence!. The file I'm editing is over 500K. Also, since E! uses ARexx, will it be possible to use E! V3.0 indexing via ARexx. i.e. a list of words in an ARexx script or in a file read from an ARexx script could be fed into E! V3.0's indexing capabilities. Please answer. I would consider the capabilty to handle control of indexing from ARexx worth the price of the upgrade. Thankyou, Patrick Beaudine.
