- I actually have an address and phone number (about a year old):
-
- The Workstation Group
- 6300 N. River Road
- Rosemont, IL 60018
- 708-696-4800

- By the way, I _really_ like XEDIT, and I like the way it interfaces
- with REXX as a macro language. XEDIT is totally untouched by any sort
- of UNIX heritage, so it's interesting in that it kind of points up the
- interrelatedness of most UNIX editors. One thing I really miss in
- other UNIX editors is the ALL command.
