We had WYSIWYG under dos 3, and paid for it in LOTS OF
proprietary file fomats. MS got us all on board with rtf,
whick was the word 4/5 standard. Thete we were, we bit the

jerked and set the hook. With word 6, we were back to
propritarty WYSIWYG by Bill. Now we are dragged

utility tat accepts updates. and speaks text fluently.
