PART 1--INTRODUCTION
WHAT IS WRITER'S HEAVEN?
Writer's Heaven is a customization program that transforms
the popular word processing program PC-Write into the fastest and
most efficient editing tool today.
Most word processing programs are designed by programmers
for secretaries. They are not designed by or for writers. A
serious writer--needing to modify text almost instantly and with
as little break in concentration as possible--is likely to be
frustrated by ways of issuing commands that seem intended to slow
down or confuse the user.
Writer's Heaven was designed by a writer especially for
writers.
PC-Write (trademark of Quicksoft(tm)) is already unexcelled in
its speed of command execution. Writer's Heaven, using PC-Write's
own macro feature, grafts onto PC-Write a unique keyboard command
structure. The result is a word processor that combines speed,
power, simplicity, and ease of learning--a word processor that
brings on-screen editing significantly closer to the speed of
thought.
WHAT IS SHAREWARE?
Like PC-Write, Writer's Heaven is shareware. For Writer's
Heaven, this means
(1) Anyone can freely copy Writer's Heaven and distribute it free
or for a nominal charge to anyone else--but you must pass it on
unaltered and include all files. (Commercial distribution for
more than a nominal fee is prohibited.)
(2) If you decide to keep using Writer's Heaven, you are asked to
send $15 to

The $15 is financial support for my development of Writer's
Heaven. It is also a registration fee that qualifies you for
technical support by mail. (Phone suppo
