- I was a registered owner of UEdit, though I didn't purchase the more
- recent updates -- I defected to QED.
-
- I don't have the letter handy, but the information above is basically
- correct. Mr. Stiles died of colon cancer, and the last extant version of
- UEdit is going to be released to the public domain via the Fish disks.
-
- According to the letter, there were still supplies of printed manuals,
- binders and reference cards for sale. I don't recall the prices or the
- ordering instructions...if you're interested, mail me and I'll try to dig up
- the letter.
-
- UEdit was a good program -- my sister still uses it from time to time.
- I just couldn't puzzle out the docs to make it do what I wanted it to.
