Watch for demo versions of DesignText Word Processor and PeopleBase Database programs. I will be uploading demo versions (No Save or Print) sometime this week. Probably the most important feature of DesignText is the fact that it uses a routine called Faxt(), which updates the display about 10 times faster than normal, and includes BoldFace, Underline, Italics, Reverse, and combinations of each, so you get WYSIWYG, not WYSIAWYG (What you see is Almost what you get) or WYSINECTWYG (What you see is not even close to what you get!)

Gee Bri…. and I was hoping for WYGIWYG (What You Get Is What You Get)… a design feature of a great wordprocessor called Tritewriter, and its associated Thesaurus, Hackneyspell, which will take complex and meaningful thoughts and translate them to well used cliches. <chuckle> Regards, Larry.

Brian, I doubt I will be there Wed. PM, as it is a bit far to drive. I'll still be here in Toronto. Regards, Larry.

Not much of interest…. learning all about SDLC and SNA and other weird IBM type things. Regards, Larry.

heh heh.. well, it has warmed up a bit, allowing the heater to do some good, and I managed to talk them into leaving the heat on during the day, so it isn't too bad now. Regards, Larry.

Oops, forgot one ? Did you manage to catch Rich Mac when he was in town? Bri

Brian, Yes, I chatted with Rich for a few minutes. Didn't have a lot of time, but did manage to cover a few topics that were quite interesting. Saw Roy earlier tonight, and we had a great time digging into hardware and software. Regards, Larry.
