For just a word processor, there is only one that runs under windows. It is called Ami and is from Samna. However, if you want more than just a simple word processor check out PageMaker from Aldus. For a drawing package, I have two that use bezier curves, etc. Adobe Illustrator and Arts & Letters Graphic Editor. Of the two, Illustrator runs like a pig. You must have at least a 286 machine and at least 2Mb of LIM Spec memory. I can also find nothing about it running better with a math co-processor. Arts & Letters, on the other hand, runs great. It is faster, has a math co-processor version, runs on any PC, and the new version has every feature that Adobe Illustrator 88 for the Mac has. That is something the Adobe has not done for the PC version. Clancy Malloy

It exists now only because it is moderated. In addition to the problems of viruses, "junk," copywrited material, etc., it seems to me that an unmoderated group leaves little incentive for people to use the moderated group. People would probably feel safer with moderated-group postings, but the easiest route for posters would be to throw it to the unmoderated group. Part of the motivation for reopening these question seems to revolve around the posting of a game. Why is the speed with which games are attained sufficient concern to reopen the moderation issue? Maybe I don't understand because I haven't played this game...:-) Please, let's not go over all this again. The few down times are not that significant, and we can certainly live without binaries for a few days. Good stuff gets posted here, but life will go on during delays. I for one do not want to go back to that (unmoderated) chaos. [Jeff Hartung's text suggests one of the uses of moderation: had the group not been moderated, the game would have been posted, cancelled, posted, cancelled, and posted again. One way or the other, resources of both time and system have been saved by moderation, which is as it should be.] -- Frank Burleigh burleigh@silver.bacs.indiana.edu USENET: ...rutgers!iuvax!silver!burleigh BITNET: BURLEIGH@IUBACS.BITNET Department of Sociology, Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana 47405

I am looking for a public domain implementation of the maths program
"minitab" for PC. I think there is such a program. Can I get a guide
to where I can get it?
Thanks in advance
