- I am looking for a software package for microsoft windows that has some
- or all of the following features:
-
-
- 1. grammar check
- 2. spell check
- 3. identification of apparent target audience
- 4. the ability for an 'instructor' to communicate with
- a student as they are writing
-
-
- IBM has a product called Writer's Studio. This is almost exactly
- what I want, but IBM is competing on the same bid I am and is
- not willing to unbundle the software from their overpriced network
- server :-) They haven't got a snowball's chance in the HOT PLACE
- of getting this deal after their past behavior at the site in question
- but we are about to see a six figure number of your tax dollars blown
- to bits if I don't find something soon. Any sort of writing-assistant
- program would be of interest ...
-
- Thanks for your time,
-
