Beth – In a nutshell, Vantage (the commercial version) runs rings around McSink, including spell checking and macros. -Tom-

Tom, I appreciate the reply, but I'm afraid I'm still a bit mystified. Could you or someone else give me a little more info?

Beth – Well, what exactly do you want to know? -Tom-

Is the interface similar, or has it been improved? Am I likely to want the commercial program if I'm not heavily into macros, and I already have a spell checker?

Beth – The interface is similar, plus it can read text from formatted Word, MacWrite, and WriteNow documents. The shareware fee on McSink is $45.00. You can get Vantage mail order for $54.00. So, for the extra nine bucks, it's worth it. -Tom-
