	If you would like more information about any of these programs or if there are any Windows shareware programs that you REALLY like and do not see on my lists (or have not seen me review) just e-mail me at my AOL address
(Mythdancer@aol.com) and I will get back to you as soon as I possibly can. I am always looking for shareware programs to review as well as your suggestions and comments - I really appreciate the feedback!

	And remember - Please Register the shareware you use!  It gives the programmer the best possible thank you and ensures their developing new products for us to enjoy in the future (plus you will feel really good about yourself!!).


Acknowledgements:  
	No project can ever be accomplished without the help of others. I would like to take this opportunity to thank those people who have helped me to put this edition together.

	Thanks to SheWhoSees (who lit the fire under me to write these online reviews), to Al Meadows of Fineware (the great guy who posts these reviews on CompuServe for me), to Michael Dvorkin for ALL his help, suggestions and upload assitance for which I can never thank him enough, to Imagine Software for their kind support, to Sanjay Kanade for his software suggestions and very kind help and input and to Chris Maresco for his software recommendations and suggestions. 

	If I missed anyone please accept my apologies and know that I DO appreciate the help. I also want to extend special thanks to those of you who offered help and suggestions but, would like to remain anonymous (you know who you are).
