- I just wanted to profusely agree with Leonard. Under absolutely no
- circumstances use BalloonWriter, SARez or Rez are much easier to use, and
- much quicker once you get the hang of it. Sorry, I had very bad
- experiences with BalloonWriter! Of course, the best bet for Balloon Help
- is to get someone else to do it for you, right Quinn? :-)
-
- If anyone wants some sample balloon .r files to look at, let me know and
- I'll mail you one or two of mine.
- Peter.
