To Everyone,
Please post your responses to Mr. Schaer's question on text-editing
programs to the whole list, as I imagine there are a number of people
(myself included) who would be interested in your opinions.
Thank you!

text editing programs in producing an edition of a medieval (or other)
text, esp. those that survive in many manuscripts--from programs that
simply set up an apparatus of variant readings as footnotes to those that
collate variant texts and do stemmatic analysis. I am aware that such
programs exist, but what I would like to get is comments from people who
have actually used them--what these programs can do, how hard they are for
non-computer specialists to use, whether they save time in the long run,
whether they are worth what they cost, etc.
