Thesaurus) that a grammar checker is being offered. The list price for

o interactive grammar correction
o checks for grammatical errors, spelling, punctuation and style
o lets you make changes as errors are detected
o can be used with
- Word Perfect (TM), ProWrite (TM), Pen Pal (TM), TextCraft Plus (TM),
Kind Words (TM), TransWrite (TM), Scribble! (TM), and ASCII files
o supports ARexx and clipboard
o statistics include:

I don't work for Softwood, just a happy customer because they have been
very responsive in the past. And now...they even read my mind! :-)
