Heck, WERCS is > worth buying all over again if I could just get a working version!! I've had a number of problems with WERCS myself (I think I've got version 1.08). I called Michtron a while back and asked whether the problems had been fixed. The person I talked to didn't know about the fixes, but did know that an update to version 1.24 was available. I haven't gotten around to it yet because I've been doing all my work in K-Resource re- cently. To get the update, send $5 plus your master disk to Michtron (plus your Registration card if you haven't sent it yet). There may be an even later update by now. You can call them at (313) 334-5700 to find out. If Hisoft has a newer version than Michtron, I'd be interested in hearing about it. -- Mark T.

O'Bryan Internet: obryan@gumby.cc.wmich.edu Mark (and to whomelse it may concern), I just got off the phone with Michtron. I mailed them my original disk and $5 last Wednesday (Jan 31 1990) and called to ask about wheither Michtron had received it. I was told that not have they received my disk, but that they shipped my upgrade Tuesday Feb 6 1990. I didn't receive it in yesterday's mail, but I am hopeful that I will get it by Saturday. I will post and let you all know what version number they shipped. I was told on the phone though that they had version 1.6 not 1.24 and that it was dated Jan 1989m which still seems kinda old. But, I will just have to wait until I get my upgrade to know exactly what they shipped. I sure hope that it doesn't crash (trash) my HRD files like my old version does. One of the nice features of WERCS is that it allows long variable names, which I really like. Also it has a test mode where you can test out dialog boxes from within WERCS. All in all, I like it better than the MWC RSC Editor or The K-Resource RSC Editor. I want to think Michtron for shipping so promptly. Sounds like a good company. -- Richard E.
