- I tested several word processors including FinalCopy I, Word Perfect,
- ProWrite, excellence! and KindWords (ugh :) when writing a review for

- Now that FinalCopy has simple structured drawing commands, it's even more
- attractive to me.. Too bad it can't read in postscript files and edit
- them! :-I ;-)
