	Lotus 1-2-3 is now commercially available, they began shipping
the product about 2 weeks ago.  VisiOn is not currently on the market,
rumors I've heard indicate a release by the end of August.  I attended
a colloquim on LISA, and since system code is approximately 2M (that's
why they had to include the hard disk), I think that LISA is not in the
same class as Lotus 1-2-3.  I haven't seen any specifications on VisiOn
yet.

Lotus is just now available from Softsel as exclusive
distributor.

VisiOn is not yet available and best estimates are for June
or July if they are lucky.  The stuff that they've been demoing
has been strictly well-defined demo programs.
