WriteNow™2.2

Being new at this matter of reviewing 
Software products, I have learned very 
quickly that if one were to attempt to be 
really thorough, the review would 
probably be as long as the Instruction 
Manual for the Product! That said, I will 
try to comment on the highlights of 
WriteNow™ 2.2 from the point of view of a 
Mac IIci user to give the reader a look at 
the product from that angle. The product performs pretty much as advertised; it is a very functional product (I'm using it to write this article); and, I have uncovered no major problems while using it in the time available for this project.

which shows six choices for file formats 
which cover most situations one would 
need for this purpose.This way one can 
change the file format type by clicking 
on the format selection and see the 
available files appear in the file name 
window. The "Save As" function has five 
choices.  Most programs I have seen to 
date require you to click on a file type 
button in order to see the choices and 
make selections, this one tells you the 
types without additional "button pushing".

One of the program's most advertised 
features is it's speed. It is less than one 
third the size of the three major packages 
which are often compared to it; and, it 
does run 
noticeably faster; 
however, I must
 point out that the
