A number of people have complained that Icon Review is not delivering
ordered software, in particular Multiwrite. I ordered it sometime ago,
as part of a package deal. Today I received a copy of the program
Mindwrite with a note saying this is the final release name of a program
earlier referred to as Express, Prewriter, or Multiwrite.
In addition I would note that I have ordered numerous items from Icon
Review, including the A+ Mouse, Macmemory, and much software. I have
had no difficulty or problems and, as far as I can tell, any delays have
been due to the manufacturer and not Icon Review.
I prefer to place mail-orders within my State, because the (excellent)
protection offered by credit cards is limited to your own State or
within 50 miles of your own home (+a few other exceptions).

Yesterday a local store got in their first copies (pre-ordered last month from their distributer). So, in all fairness, Icon Review hasn't been able to ship them out until just a few days ago. Though it would be nice of them to tell folks who order their products whether or not those products are currently shipping... Peter ----- Peter "Arrgh" Korn I know lots of honorary jews!

If memory serves, Multi-write was first announced as Pre-Writer (it had a 'file-card' manager too). Then they ditched that feature and came out with Multi-Write. Now I've seen them advertise something called MindWrite(?). Since the company's name is Mindwork software, I would recomend those of you with standing orders check this out - they may have given everyone the slip - AGAIN! - MSM ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mark S.

Multi-Write isn't VaporWare - I have seen Version 0.9.
