Does anyone have any experience with the 'Critic's Choice', the software bundle that is sold at a very good price to people who buy Amigas. It comes with the KindWords word processer, MicroFiche filer, and some spread sheet, the name of which I cannot remember. My dealer told me the whole thing is $189 (CANADIAN). Has anyone had any experience with any of these packages? Are they any good? What is the name of the spreadsheet? Do any of the programs have AREXX ports? How do they compare to similar types of programs as for features, ease of use, etc. Thanks. -- % Alan W.

I recently purchased the 'Critic's Choice' software with my Amiga 500. This software is a package deal of Micro-Fiche-Filer, Maxiplan 500, and KindWords. All of these programs have 'DEMO VERSION, NOT FOR RESALE' written all over the software when I run them. Is this supposed to happen or should I return them? All of the features seem to be there, I can load/save ... everything. For those who don't know, the Critic's choice is a special package deal only available to people buying a new Amiga, this I why I suspect the DEMO warning is supposed to be there. Does anyone know how I can upgrade these? I saw posted on the net that MFF has an AREXX port. Does anyone know if the version I have has the AREXX port, or if I will have to upgrade? ------------------------------------------------------- Alan W.

He did not pay anything for it, but did make money by selling it to you. At this point, you should either contact the publisher, and tell him what happened, or go to your dealer and ask for a refund. > Alan W.
