- I beg to differ. DeScribe rates far better than just "squat" in my book. In
- fact, given that I have the choice of DeScribe 3.0 and Word 1.1, the fact that
- I tend to use DeScribe the vast majority of the time should say something
- about the program.

- You might want to reevaluate the OS/2 word processing situation after the
- DeScribe upgrade is released, rumored to be very soon now (this month, or
- was it supposed to be the end of August?).
