That reminds me . . . I think John Esak owns Scripsit now (I have
it on my computer to this date, though I've never used it much).

Somebody ought to buy it from John and produce a product, or John
ought to put it into the public domain to let freelancers do what
they will with it.

I've never been a word-processor user, but users of Scripsit I've
known always gave it a high ranking among those they've used.
