I used PC-Write for many years, and I still have my certificate granting
ne the right to use it in perpetuity. I correspnded with Quicksoft on
a couple of occasions, I can't remember if it was Bob who replied, but
what I do remember was that they added a feature to PC-Write that I
requested - the first time a software comapny actually listened to me!
A pleasure to do business with.
