[senit] Re: software list

Wordshark, Numbershark, anything from greyoltwit, mathbase,

Commercial Interest Declared-----

I would recommend not to go with Writing with Symbols (WWS) but 
Communicate in Print2 (CiP). WWS will be replaced in a few month's time 
with the Communicate: Series and CiP is a symbol based DTP and the first 
step in the series. Early in 2007 we will release Communicate:SymWriter 
which is the send grid aspect of the series and between the 2 you will 
have all the features of WWS but in an updated, more usier friendly and 
flexible form. You can go to http://www.widgit.com/products/index.htm 
for more information on the Communicate: Series or contact me out of group.

As far as Logotron titles I would recommend looking at Thinking With 
Pictures, Revelation Natural Art, Revelation Sight & Sound and Notate.
