Does anyone know about a program called RIGHTWRITER. It runs on DOS and might be a shareware program coming from someone in Florida. I would be grateful for any information about it.

I know because I bought it! It is a grammar and spelling checker and so far I like it. Price was around $50.00 Ed Burkett

I would be >grateful for any information about it. I have Right Writer ver. 3.0. I got it about a year ago. As far as I know, it is *not* shareware. It is by RightSoft, Inc. from Sarasota, FL. Their phone number is (813)923-0223. I paid $46 for it. I also have Grammatik III from Reference Software. It is a similar product that I prefer. I find it easier to use. I paid $57 for it. I think there might be newer versions of both packages than what I have. I have problems with both packages. They don't find all mistakes and they both nag about using passive voice a lot. Grammatik III is supposed to work directly with major word processing packages. It screws up my formatting every time I check an original MS Word document. I usually check copies, but then the changes have to be redone to the original. My version of Right Writer works on text files and puts zillions of hard-to-read comments in the middle of the text. I don't care for it at all. They've both got a ways to go. -- Marshall L.
