I just finished proofreading my thesis using Grammatik for Windows.
I'm no English major, but I think it done real good. However, I
consistently got unrecoverable application errors in a section with
several tables. I'm using Word for Windows and I have many figures,
equations, imported tif files, and tables. Sections with one table
worked fine, but there is one part of my paper that has six tables
with no intervening text. When G4W hit that it died. I tried
using "ignore block" to no avail. To test it, I made a copy of the
document and converted the tables to text. That worked fine, so I
proofed that copy and made the changes to the original by hand.
I think I noticed another slight bug in its handling of a sentence
that was split by a page break, but nothing major.

I called Reference Software today to notify them of the bug. They didn't sound surprised :-) The tech support person asked me to hit control-r and tell him what the revision number was. I did so and there was no revison number. I was told that I have an early version and they will mail a new one to me immediately. It sounds like they are quietly fixing bugs and releasing new software without announcing new versions. So if you buy Grammatik for Windows and there is the slightest thing wrong with it, give them a call for a new version. I haven't seen any version being sold other than 1.0. -david preston@lll-crg.llnl.gov There is no limit to the number of seeing eye dogs on Muni vehicles D. R.
