Is it true that Excellence! and Pro Write are no more? In response to the offer to upgrade from my obselete WP should I purchase Final Copy II? I do own PageStream. But I do need a good WP. Thanks James via AutoPilot With Motorola Inside and Intel Outside

hi James I don't know about Excellence! and Pro Write are no more. But I've just read a reveiw on FCII and it wasn't very good. They said it took too long to set up. I've been using Pro Write since my Amiga 2000 has been Turbo Charged up by GVP 40Mhz Combo. It's to slow on a standard Amiga. I like to know weather Pro Write is to be continued?

Gary, You are confusing excellence! with ProWrite. Microsystems Software (the makers of excellence!) are out of business, but our company (New Horizons, the makers of ProWrite) are doing fine. By the way, we have a vendor support section in the AMIGAVENDOR conference on CompuServe if you have any questions about ProWrite or any of our other products.

Dear James I don't think I was confusing excellence with ProWrite. Sorry to hear Microsystems have gone out of business, Scribble was the WP I used and it served me well for a long time but they never improved it. I would be most gratefull if you could tell me the most recent version of ProWrite. Mine is version 3.2. If there is a upgrade avalible how much does it cost.

James, Is that official about MSS? I'd seen a lot of rumours and certainly they haven't been responding but I've also seen too many premature deaths (even the last note I got from Gramma read `rumours of our demise are untrue'). If so, have you heard of anybody taking over the products or making switch offers? regards, Lu on AutoPilot downunder

James, I don't know about Excellence!, but ProWrite is alive and well. Hop on over to AmigaVendor Forum (GO AMIGAVENDOR) and you'll find that New Horizons has a support section for their products. -sja

James, ProWrite is alive and well. We continue to offer the most bang for the buck of any Amiga Word Processsor. Feel free to stop by Section 5 of Amiga Vendor and ask any questions that you may have. Randy Brooks New Horizons Software, Inc.
