>What is Pointpro and on what OS will it run ?
Point Pro is a utility package by Landware. Basically it enhances the text
caret so that when you tap it, there are many buttons. For instance there
is one for the keyboard, scribble out the last word, moving the caret back
and forth, word sleuth (thesaurus), Merlin (spell checker) and lots of
characters which are usually not easy to have the Newton recognize via ink.
It also can be customized to insert signatures or whatever text you want
with a tap.
In short a very handy app. It is included with several of their software
packages like, Writestuff and Merlin/Word Sleuth. But I found the version
that comes with Merlin/WS is a older version lacking a couple of buttons
(the keyboard for instance) compared to the one included with Writestuff.
Other than that it is the same.
