- I, like the pervious note-sumbmitter, received the MLS brochure. Based on
- several years on on-and-off (and w/ problems w/ NB, increasingly "on"!)
- use of MLS, I'd personally rtecommend a good close look at the more proicey
- "Professional" (aren't we all?!) version. No, I don't work for the MLS
- folks or get anything from them! Think about it, look at it, if you need
- true multi-lingual word processing.
- Why hasn';t NB done this? Frankly (and all of us respect and like the
- parents of NB, as far back as the Green Box), I don't think those who did
- ML (oops!) NB needed or wanted or valued what they saw as "exotica." Once
- languages for Biblical word (Greek & Hebrew) were theere, and Cyrillic was
- added (as "fluff"?), then they felt they were "done". Other scripts have
- been promised, unpromised, talked about, "excused about," but nothing has
- been done. And the rest of us have ha dto look elsewhere. MLS is a place to
- look.
