I would suggest checking out the CALICO Review for a review of this  
product and other
French correction products.  It is free and on-line at http:// 
www.calico.org.  I believe Jack
Burston did the review of Antidote (perhaps a previous edition  
though).  He will likely read
this note and might have updates.

Best, Mike
