Organizations write important stuff in groups. If you want to change a company policy, say, everyone will want to get into the act: one person drafts a proposal, then herds of interested parties will review the draft, scrawling marginal notes and suggested changes all over the original. ForComment controls that group writing/approval process elegantly. Each comment is carefully stored by contributor, recording each person’s suggestions by date and initials in an audit/edit trail file, so you can go back later and reconstruct how the final document was put together. You even get to try out suggested changes without modifying the original to see how well that suggestion might work. ForComment is particularly useful when all parties are linked together by a local area network, but works quite well passing the annotated document around on a floppy disk. — Richard Dalton
