Subject: Grammar and Style Checker
I have received a series of requests for information about StrongWriter,
the grammar and style checker I created. HUMANISTs may be interested
in knowing that it is described in my article in the January, 1989,
issue of RESEARCH IN WORD PROCESSING NEWSLETTER (vol 7, no 1) pages
10-13.

OPENSOFT TOPIC-1 is now available on the fileserver. This is a
discussion about Richard Stallman's idea of "open software".

Subject: Xword?
Xword translated from various word-processors formats to others. So if
you have a Wordperfect document and want to use Wordstar.... It does
not cover a huge range, mind you. What puzzles me is a) how the
questioner got the .EXE file without the documentation, and b) why
simply typing XWORD does not come up with suitable words of wisdoms.
My version is pretty explicit about what it is doing, as I recall
(never having used it in anger,so to speak, only to prove that it works).
